Abstract
- Dielectric capacitors have attracted considerable attention owing to their excellent performance, including high charge-discharge rate as well as good temperature stability and fatigue resistance. Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT)-based ceramics are considered to be one of the most prospective lead-free dielectric materials because of their unique phase transition and relaxation characteristics. However, the energy storage performance obtained in the currently available materials is not satisfactory. We propose a synergetic optimization strategy through composition design and domain engineering in 0.74Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -0.26Sr 0.7 Bi 0.2 TiO 3 (NBSBT) ceramic, i.e., by simultaneously refining the grain size and widening the bandgap width, which facilitates a large breakdown strength and Δ P (P m – P r). A high dielectric constant and low remnant polarization is beneficial for obtaining improved energy storage properties. Piezoelectric force microscopy revealed that the introduction of NaNbO 3 (NN) disrupts the microdomains of the NBSBT ceramics and promotes the generation of polar nano-regions. An excellent energy storage density (W rec) of 4.83 J/cm3 and a moderate efficiency (η) of 87.4% are obtained at the optimum composition of 0.85NBSBT-0.15NN. These characteristics demonstrate that (1- x)NBSBT- x NN based ceramics are promising candidate materials for high-temperature energy storage devices and provide an effective strategy for the design of next-generation dielectric capacitors.
