Abstract The ceramic-polymer composites were prepared by mixing 0.7Bi(Fe0.98 Ga0.02 )O3 -0.3BaTiO3 (BFBTO) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), taken at various weight ratios 5, 10, and 15% processed by solvent-casting technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra depict combined phases (α−, β− and γ −) of the PVDF and tetragonal phase of BFBTO. The surface morphology was examined by scanning electron micrograph showing the spread of lead-free BFBTO filler on matrix PVDF. The rise in filler content, in the PVDF matrix, enhances dielectric constant and remnant polarization. The Nyquist plot suggests the contribution of grain and grain boundary effect. The composite films shall be useful for various self-power sensors. Keywords PVDF · XRD · Nyquist plot · Dielectric constant B. K. Panigrahi (B) · S.

1 Introduction The sensors industry has been widely explored because of its inclusion in several applications [1–3]. So, the deployment of sensor networks enables uninterrupted structural integrity monitoring of an aircraft, providing crucial information on operation condition, deformation, and potential damage to the structure. There is a global alert of several lead-based pollution and toxicity which bars the usage of lead in future electronics. Therefore, the quest has been generated to develop multiferroic materials having several ferroic orders like ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity, and ferromagnetism serving toward device applications such as sensors, memories, and energy harvesters [4]. Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 , BFO) have high polarization and chemical stability [5]. BFO-BaTiO3 based lead-free solid solutions bear a high T c (i.e., 580 °C) with superior electrical properties. The ceramic materials are brittle which hinders the application of the ceramic fillers in flexible device design, so researchers develop a method of using polymer-ceramic composites comprising excellent flexibility. The ferroelectric PVDF matrix as polymer has better piezoelectric properties and can be fabricated by sev
