(Bi0.5Na0.5)1–xBaxTiO3 lead-free ferroelectric ceramics were synthetized via the conventional solid-state reaction sintering method, considering x = 10, 16, 18 at%. The structural analysis has shown the formation of the perovskite structure with different crystalline symmetries, depending on the BT content: a coexistence of two tetragonal phases (antiferroelectric, P4bm and ferroelectric, P4mm) for x = 10 at% and a single tetragonal ferroelectric phase (P4mm) for x = 16, 18 at%. The dielectric response, performed in wide temperature and frequency ranges, revealed several dielectric anomalies, which have been associated to different phases’ transitions, one of them showing relaxor-like characteristics with significant frequency dispersion. In order to understand the observed dispersion around the first anomaly, a quantitative analysis has been taken into account considering the Cole-Cole formalism.
