In this work, we report dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of perovskite Ba0.95Sr0.05ZrxTi(1-x)O3 (BSZT, x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ceramics synthesized by using a solid-state reaction method. It is demonstrated that when the Zr concentration was 5 at% and the sintering temperature was 1400 o C, the BSZT ceramic gives the best overall electromechanical performance, including a large remnant polarization of ~ 12.1 µC/cm 2 , large dielectric constants (εr peak ≈12600, εr RT ≈ 3500) and 1 Certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in this paper to adequately specify the experimental procedure. Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
