Solid solutions xBaTiO 3 -(1-x)(0.5Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -0.5BiInO 3 ), where x00.95-0.60, were prepared by conventional mixed oxide method. The single phase perovskite structure was obtained for the composition with x≥ 0.75. Phase transformation from tetragonal to pseudocubic was observed from x-ray diffraction patterns when x decreased from 0.95 to 0.75. In tetragonal phase region, x≥0.90, the increase of Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -BiInO 3 content decreased the tetragonality and the temperature at which the relative permittivity is maximum (T max ). The increase in lattice parameter and T max were observed in the pseudocubic phase region, x< 0.90. Additionally, a highly broad and diffuse phase transition was observed from the dielectric data in the pseudocubic phase region. The introduction of Ba vacancies in compositions with x00.80 and 0.75 also improved dielectric loss at high temperatures. The incorporation of BiInO 3 into the BaTiO 3 -Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 compound was also found to improve the temperature coefficient of the relative permittivity, with values as low as approximately −1,000 ppm/K. Overall, ternary perovskite solid solutions based on adding Bi(Zn 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -BiInO 3 to BaTiO 3 shows excellent potential for high temperature capacitor applications Keywords High temperature capacitor .
