As the requirement of sustainable development and widen application range, it is very necessary to develop lead-free eco-friendly piezoelectric materials with ultra-high Curie temperature (Tc). The perovskite-like layered structure (PLS)...
Herein, (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.94Ba0.06Ti1‐x(Al0.5Nb0.5)xO3 (NBBT‐xAN) ceramics are fabricated through a solid reaction method. X‐ray diffraction reveals the structure of NBBT‐xAN ceramics transforms from coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal structures to a pseudocubic structure with increasing AN content. Raman spectroscopy indicates the long‐range ferroelectric order of NBBT ceramics is broken by AN and the polar nanoregions (PNRs) with weak polarization are formed. The relaxor behavior of NBBT ceramics is enhanced by the enhanced random electric fields (REFs) through the heterovalent cations Al3+/Nb5+. Therefore, a slim and pinched P–E loop is obtained for NBBT ceramics by doping AN and the energy‐storage properties (ESPs) can be improved dramatically under a low electric field. The maximum recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 1.2 J cm−3 is obtained at x = 0.04 under a low electric field of 100 kV cm−1. However, a relatively high Wrec of 1.0 J cm−3 and efficiency (η) of 77% are simultaneously obtained at x = 0.05 under the same electric field strength. Moreover, NBBT‐0.05AN ceramics also exhibit excellent temperature (30–180 °C), fatigue (104) and frequency (1–40 Hz) stabilities. Most important, the study provides a strategy to design high energy‐storage capacitors under a low electric field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
