(1-x)Ba0.04Bi0.48Na0.48TiO3-xSrTiO3 (x=0.27,0.28,0.30,0.32,0.34 and 0.36) lead-free energy storage cera-mics were produced by conventional solid-state reaction processes. Microstructures, electrical properties, dielectric properties and conductivity characteristic of BBNT-xST ceramics were investigated. All of the ceramics formed solid solutions with simple perovskite structure and grain size of the ceramics is uniform and compact. Ferroelectric curves of all the ceramics showed a double hysteresis loop owning a quite low remnant polarization and high breakdown strength, demonstrating an antiferroelectric characteristic. Up to x=0.34, the largest energy-storage density of 0.977 J/cm 3 was obtained and high dielectric dispersion of the ceramic suggested a typical relaxor behavior. Electronic conductivity of the ceramic with x=0.34 was 6.02×10 -13 S/cm while the corresponding ionic conductivity 2.4×10 -8 S/cm at low frequency, denoting that the ionic conductivity was dominant in conduction processes.
