Abstract

The energy storage properties of Ca-doped (Sr, Ca)TiO3 (SCT) paraelectric ceramics have been intensively investigated by traditional solid state sintering method. Phase structures and morphology were detected by the X-ray diffraction and SEM, respectively. The electric field strength dependence of polarization was measured and employed to calculate the energy storage density. The doped SCT ceramics exhibit high permittivity, low loss, and higher breakdown strength. At 333 kV/cm electric field strength, the energy storage density of the 2 mol % Ca-doped SrTiO3 ceramics with fine grain can achieve 1.95 J/cm3, which is 2.8 times of pure SrTiO3 in the literature, and its energy storage efficiency reaches 72.3 %. Therefore, the SCT ceramics might be a kind of promising energy storage dielectric material.
