Abstract

We synthesize a group of three-phase ferroelectric ceramics 0.35(Sr0.7Bi0.2) TiO3–0.65(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3–xSr(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BST–BNT–xSMN) using conventional solid-phase sintering method. When tunning the volume of SMN to 0.01, the ceramic sheet shows homogeneous microcrystal grains and highly dense crystal morphology, which favors a reductive dielectric permittivity (εr) of 2250 and loss of 0.05. Under a high electric field of 100 kV cm−1, the BST–BNT-0.01SMN sample achieves a slender polarization versus electrical field (P–E) loop with saturation and residual polarization of 37.1 µC cm−2 and 3.0 µC cm−2, respectively, corresponding to a high energy density of 1.32 J cm−3 and a large η of 81%. Strikingly, the BST–BNT–xSMN ceramics show the excellent temperature stability below 100 °C, which facilitates energy storage in relaxed ferroelectric ceramics and provides an efficient method for obtaining pulsed power capacitors with excellent energy-recoverable characteristics and high efficiency in BNT-based ceramics.
