A-site doping of BaBi2NbTaO9 by Ni2+ was synthesized by chemical precursor solution decomposition method. The materials exhibited single-phase tetragonal structure. The crystallite size of the calcined powder exhibited 42 nm with high degree of tetragonality. Curie temperature (Tc) was not found upto 600 °C that indicated higher Tc of the material. Impedance spectroscopy showed non-Debye type of relaxation with semiconducting nature. The closeness of the activation energy for imaginary impedance relaxation and DC conductivity indicated same type of charge carriers. P–E hysteresis loop indicated ferroelectric properties of the material. Energy storage densities were calculated for charge and discharge. The highest energy efficiency was observed at 10 kV/cm electric field.
