Effects of doping of Y and sintering atmosphere on the dielectric properties of Sr 1-1.5x Y x TiO 3 ceramics (SYT, x = 0-0.014) were systematically investigated. The SYT14 (x = 0.014) ceramic sintered in N 2 attains a colossal permittivity (CP, Ɛ r = 28 084@ 1kHz, 27 685@ 2MHz) and an ultralow dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.007@ 1kHz, 0.003@ 2MHz) at room temperature. Because of using of the A-site deficient, there are V ,, in SYT ceramics. Through the comprehensive analysis of dielectric responses, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and complex impedance data, it is proved that doping of Y promotes the formation of Y • (Y 3+ are located at Sr 2+ site), Y , (Y 3+ are located at Ti 4+ site), and Ti 3+ , and sintering in reducing atmosphere of N 2 results in more V •• O (oxygen vacancy) and V ,, (strontium vacancy) generating in SYT ceramics. The defect dipoles, suchas V
