Electrical energy storage systems with high energy- and power density are of great interest in electronics. A possible material choice to realize such devices are relaxor ceramics. Lead-free examples are BaTiO3 based systems, where the relaxor behavior is obtained via the disruption of the ferroelectric long-range order by replacing Ti4+ by homo- or heterovalent substitutes in BaTiO3’s perovsike unit cell. Here, the microscopic ferroelectric behavior of BaTiO3 with increasing amounts of Zr4+ and Nb5+ has been investigated utilizing piezo response force microscopy. The investigations reveal that the disruption of the ferroelectric long-range order is highly sensitive to the amount and type of substitutes.
