Electro ceramics are very useful and employed in various electronic devices such as sensors, actuators, dielectric resonators, and capacitors for energy storage. Lead-based materials possess good energy storage properties but since lead is toxic, therefore, stress is given to the use of lead free materials. BaTiO3 is a widely studied lead-free material. Several solid solutions of BaTiO3 led to improvement in the energy storage properties. In the present study, Ta2O5 added 0.85BaTiO3-0.15Bi (Mg0.5Ti0.5) O3 processed via the conventional mix oxide route. The Phase, microstructure, and dielectric properties were studied. Single perovskite phase developed and studied via XRD. Dense ceramics for each composition was developed with the pseudo-crystal structure. Low grain size <3 m is achieved for each composition. A high dielectric constant r > 1000 and low dielectric loss (<2.5%) is obtained for z≤0.20, with high stability over a broad range of temperatures (<0 °C to 180 °C). These compositions are considered to be suitable for designing X9R capacitors. In complex impedance analysis. The decreasing value of the bulk impedance upon increasing the temperature revealed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behaviour. The small conductivity and high activation energy value for x=0.01 demonstrates the temperature stability of this ceramic.
