Sumario:The demand to produce clean energy has been increasing over the last years due to the various climate changes, which are strongly afflicting the world. Therefore, it is necessary to implement new and alternative energy sources that contribute for the environment preservation. That is the case, for instance, of novel energy-storage devices, which could contribute for the current demand of clean energies. In fact, most of the system used nowadays are those lead-based materials, which are strongly pollutant and contribute for the environment contamination. In this way, the interest in the development and study of lead-free materials has become a real priority in the scientific community. The objective of the present work is to synthesize and investigate the physical properties of lead-free ferroelectric systems based on BaTiO3 (BT) with technological interest. In particular, the structural and dielectric properties have been investigated as a function of the Sn4+ content, used as a doping element in the BT hosting crystalline structure. The phase transition characteristics have been also analyzed in a wide temperature and frequency range.
