AbstractLead-free bulk ceramics for advanced pulsed power capacitors show relatively low recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) especially at low electric field condition. To address this challenge, we propose an A-site defect engineering to optimize the electric polarization behavior by disrupting the orderly arrangement of A-site ions, in which $${\rm{B}}{{\rm{a}}_{0.105}}{\rm{N}}{{\rm{a}}_{0.325}}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{r}}_{0.245 - 1.5x}}{_{0.5x}}{\rm{B}}{{\rm{i}}_{0.325 + x}}{\rm{Ti}}{{\rm{O}}_3}$$ Ba 0.105 Na 0.325 Sr 0.245 − 1.5 x □ 0.5 x Bi 0.325 + x TiO 3 ($${\rm{BN}}{{\rm{S}}_{0.245 - 1.5x}}{_{0.5x}}{{\rm{B}}_{0.325 + x}}{\rm{T}}$$ BNS 0.245 − 1.5 x □ 0.5 x B 0.325 + x T , x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08) lead-free ceramics are selected as the representative. The $${\rm{BN}}{{\rm{S}}_{0.245 - 1.5x}}{_{0.5x}}{{\rm{B}}_{0.325 + x}}{\rm{T}}$$ BNS 0.245 − 1.5 x □ 0.5 x B 0.325 + x T ceramics are prepared by using pressureless solid-state sintering and achieve large Wrec (1.8 J/cm3) at a low electric field (@110 kV/cm) when x = 0.06. The value of 1.8 J/cm3 is super high as compared to all other Wrec in lead-free bulk ceramics under a relatively low electric field (< 160 kV/cm). Furthermore, a high dielectric constant of 2930 within 15% fluctuation in a wide temperature range of 40–350 °C is also obtained in $${\rm{BN}}{{\rm{S}}_{0.245 - 1.5x}}{_{0.5x}}{{\rm{B}}_{0.325 + x}}{\rm{T}}$$ BNS 0.245 − 1.5 x □ 0.5 x B 0.325 + x T (x = 0.06) ceramics. The excellent performances can be attributed to the A-site defect engineering, which can reduce remnant polarization (Pr) and improve the thermal evolution of polar nanoregions (PNRs). This work confirms that the $${\rm{BN}}{{\rm{S}}_{0.245 - 1.5x}}{_{0.5x}}{{\rm{B}}_{0.325 + x}}{\rm{T}}$$ BNS 0.245 − 1.5 x □ 0.5 x B 0.325 + x T (x = 0.06) ceramics are desirable for advanced pulsed power capacitors, and will push the development of a series of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT)-based ceramics with high Wrec and high-temperature stability.

Abstract Lead-free bulk ceramics for advanced pulsed power capacitors show relatively low recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) especially at low electric field condition. To address this challenge, we proposed an A-site defect engineering to optimize the electric polarization behavior by disrupting the orderly arrangement of A-site ions, in which Ba0.105Na0.325Sr0.245−1.5xð0.5xBi0.325+xTiO3 (BNS0.245−1.5xð0.5xB0.325+xT, x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08) lead-free ceramics were selected as the representative. The BNS0.245−1.5xð0.5xB0.325+xT ceramics were prepared by using pressureless solid state sintering and achieved large Wrec (1.8 J/cm3) at a low electric field (@110 kV/cm) when x = 0.06. The value of 1.8 J/cm3 is super high as compared to all other Wrec in lead-free bulk ceramics under a relatively low electric field (< 160 kV/cm). Furthermore, a high dielectric constant of 2930 ± 15% in a wide temperature range of 40 ~ 350°C was also obtained in BNS0.245−1.5xð0.5xB0.325+xT (x = 0.06) ceramics. The excellent performances can be attributed to the A-site defect engineering, which can reduce Pr and improve the thermal evolution of polar nanoregions (PNRs). This work confirms that the BNS0.245−1.5xð0.5xB0.325+xT (x = 0.06) ceramics are desirable for advanced pulsed power capacitors, and will push the development of a series of BNT-based ceramics with high Wrec and high temperature stability.

Abstract A series of 0.65(Bi0.5 Na0.5 )TiO3 -0.35(Sr0.7+x +Bi0.2 )TiO3 (BNT-S0.7+x BT) composite ceramic pellets are synthesized using the traditional solid sintering method, where a tunable x, that is the changeable volume of Sr, is expected to tailor energy storage through the adjustments of the A-site stoichiometry in BNT-S0.7+x BT. We find that a small excess of Sr2+ ions results in an extensively tunning on the crystal grain size and even contributes to the A-site disorder and charge fluctuation of BNT-S0.7+x BT. As such, the BNT-S0.7+x BT exhibits a minimum average grain size and a highly compact crystal morphology. Meanwhile, a relatively thin polarization-electric field (P-E) loop with a high maximum polarization of 42μC/cm2 and a low remnant electric polarization of 5μC/cm2 are obtained in a BNT-S0.75 BT sample under 100 kV/cm, which corresponds to a large energy density of 9.81 J cm-3 . Attractively, this ceramic possesses an excellent temperature stability of polarization performances and strain under high electric field of 100kV/cm, which favors of the energy storage of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and is valuable to a supercapacitor serving at evaluated high temperature.

Abstract NaNbO3-based antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have the prominent advantages of stable performance and low cost. However, its energy storage property is often remarkably limited by the hysteresis of the antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transformation. In this work, 0.88Na(Nb1 − xTax)O3–0.12Bi0.2Sr0.7TiO3 (x = 0–0.075) antiferroelectric ceramics were synthesized using a conventional mixed oxide route. Ta5+ were completely dissolved into the lattice of 0.88NaNbO3–0.12Bi0.2Sr0.7TiO3 to form a pure perovskite structure. With increased Ta content, the AFE orthogonal P phase was replaced by AFE orthogonal R phase progressively. Meanwhile, the dielectric constant curve showed relaxor-like properties. As a result, slender P–E curves with reduced hysteresis loss and decreased residual polarization were achieved. Interestingly, a large recoverable energy storage density (Wrec ≈ 2.16 J cm− 3) and high energy storage efficiency (η ≈ 80.7%) were obtained simultaneously under a low driving electric field of 15 kV mm− 1 at doping ratio (x) of 0.075. In addition, the 0.88Na(Nb0.925Ta0.075)O3–0.12Bi0.2Sr0.7TiO3 sample exhibited excellent temperature stability, indicating an ideal candidate in future pulsed power capacitor.

AbstractDielectric ceramic capacitors, with the advantages of high power density, fast charge-discharge capability, excellent fatigue endurance, and good high temperature stability, have been acknowledged to be promising candidates for solid-state pulse power systems. This review investigates the energy storage performances of linear dielectric, relaxor ferroelectric, and antiferroelectric from the viewpoint of chemical modification, macro/microstructural design, and electrical property optimization. Research progress of ceramic bulks and films for Pb-based and/or Pb-free systems is summarized. Finally, we propose the perspectives on the development of energy storage ceramics for pulse power capacitors in the future.
