Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 (SBN) ceramics with the BaO–B2O3–SiO2 (BBS) glasses have been successfully produced for high energy-storage density capacitor applications. The phase evolution, microstructures, dielectric properties and energy storage properties of the SBN-based glass ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed all ceramic samples were of tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structures. As the mass ratio of glass in the glass ceramics increased from 0.1wt.% to 10 wt.%, the dielectric constant of the glass ceramics increased initially and then decreased with the increasing glass content. Compared to pure Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 ceramics, the glass ceramics with a small amount of BBS glass addition illustrated better energy storage properties. The glass-ceramic with 0.5wt. % BBS glass addition showed the highest breakdown strength of 194 kV/cm and a maximum energy storage density of 0.286 J/cm3.
