The theory of obtaining high energy-storage density and efficiency for ceramic capacitors is well known, e.g. increasing breakdown electric field and decreasing remanent polarization of dielectric materials. How to achieve...
Ferroelectric materials are considered to be the most competitive energy storage materials for applications in pulsed power electronics due to excellent charge–discharge properties. However, the low energy storage density is the primary problem limiting their practical application. In this study, (1[Formula: see text])Na[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text]TiO3–[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]La[Formula: see text]TiO3[(1[Formula: see text])NBT–[Formula: see text]SLT] ferroelectric ceramics are found to exhibit excellent energy storage performances through a synergistic strategy. As the SLT concentration increases, the relaxation characteristic increases significantly and the breakdown strength increases dramatically from 150 kV/cm to 220 kV/cm. The recoverable energy storage density of the 0.55NBT–0.45SLT ceramic is 2.86 J/cm3 with an energy storage efficiency of 88% under an electric field of 220 kV/cm. Furthermore, the ceramic with [Formula: see text] = 0.45 mol exhibited excellent energy storage stability in the ranges of 20–180[Formula: see text]C (temperature) and 1–125 Hz (frequency). These excellent properties demonstrate the potential of (1[Formula: see text])NBT–[Formula: see text] SLT ceramics when used as dielectric capacitors in pulsed power systems.
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.
