Abstract

In this work, Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 (BMN) was introduced to improve the electrical properties and energy storage performance of Bi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) ceramics, and the lead-free ceramics BNKT-xBMN (x = 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16) were synthesized via a traditional sintering process. The relaxation behavior and thermal stability of the materials were enhanced as well as the temperature corresponding to the maximum permittivity decreased monotonously from about 300 °C at x = 0, to 250 °C at x = 0.16 with the increasing of BMN content. Besides, a slim P-E loop with a large ∆P was obtained after doped BMN. Eventually, at a BMN doping level of 0.08, a BNKT-0.08BMN ceramic obtained high energy storage density of 2.20 J/cm3 as well as an acceptable efficiency of 55.7% under a low electric field of 110 kV/cm. Furthermore, a good temperature/frequency stability was achieved in BNKT-0.08BMN ceramic, as well as glorious fatigue behavior of energy storage properties. This work not only clarifies the internal relationship between the structure and properties of BNKT-BMN, but also provides useful insights for the optimization of electrical properties and energy storage behavior of lead-free energy storage bulk materials.
