Abstract

Ferroelectric is thought to be one of the most promising energy-storage materials due to its high polarization. However, large energy loss and low breakdown strength (BDS) are the main drawbacks that hinder high energy-storage performances of ferroelectric materials. Here, excellent energy-storage performances are achieved in 0.85(0.55Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.45Sr0.7La0.2TiO3)-0.15Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 (NBT-SLT-BMN) relaxor ferroelectric ceramic by optimizing sintering temperatures, which leads to a high recoverable energy-storage density (Wrec) of 3.88 J/cm3 together with a high energy efficiency (η) of 85% at the optimal sintering temperature of 1170 °C. The microstructural analysis suggests that the softened B-O vibrations and the formation of polar nanorgeions give rise to the enhanced relaxation behavior that is responsible for the decrease of energy loss. Meanwhile, the optimal sintering temperature has an effective role in decreasing grain size, resulting in a large increase of the BDS. Moreover, the ceramic sintered at 1170 °C exhibits excellent energy-storage stability in the range of 20–180 °C and 1-125 Hz. Based on the pulse charge-discharge measurement, a high-power density of 68.47 MW/cm3 and a fast charge-discharge speed of 72 ns are acquired. These results show that the appropriate sintering temperature can optimize the microstructure and improve the energy-storage performance of ferroelectric ceramics.
