(Na0.5Bi0.5)0.75Sr0.25TiO3–x Sm2O3 ceramics
(denoted as NBSTS
x
) were obtained
by the solid-state reaction method, and their crystal structure and
morphological characteristics were characterized by X-ray diffractometer
mapping (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The NBSTS
x
ceramics, when doped with a concentration
of x = 0.03, demonstrated outstanding performance
in terms of maximum recoverable energy storage density (W
rec ∼ 3.35 J/cm3) and energy storage
efficiency (η ∼ 84.8%). This ceramic exhibited the highest
potential at an electric field strength of 210 kV/cm. Additionally,
the thermal stability of NBSTS0.03 ceramic remained constant
within the temperature range of 30–90 °C, while their
frequency stability covered the range of 10–1000 Hz. By analyzing
the dielectric spectra of the material, we investigated the variation
of the relative permittivity (εr
) and the dielectric loss angle tangent (tan δ), and
we probed the relaxation behavior by means of a modified Curie–Weiss
law. The NBSTS
x
ceramic with a density
of x = 0.03 exhibited a fast charge/discharge rate
of 128 ns and a discharge energy density of 1.06 J/cm3.
From the impedance spectra, the relaxation phenomena observed in the
system could potentially be attributed to the migration of oxygen
vacancies.
