description Ba(Ti0.25Zr0.25Hf0.25Sn0.25)O3 high-entropy ceramics were prepared by a standard solid state reaction process, and the dielectric and ferroelectric characteristics were investigated together with the structures. Both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis demonstrated a single-phase perovskite structure in the present ceramics. A broad dielectric peak with strong frequency dispersion feature was determined, which indicated the typical relaxor nature originating from the nanoscale ferroelectric domain structures. These resulted from the structural distortion and chemical disorder due to high-entropy, where the long-range order of ferroelectric domains was destroyed. The homogeneous microstructure led to the reduced leakage current density and significantly improved dielectric strength, which was desired for the practical applications. Compared with the similar systems of Ba(Ti1-xZrx)O3 & Ba(Ti1-xSnx)O3, the present high-entropy ceramics indicated better relaxor ferroelectric characteristics.
