The barium strontium titanate (Ba x Sr 1-x TiO 3 ) glass-ceramics doped with different content of La were prepared via controlled crystallization. Phase compositions, microstructure and dielectric behaviors were investigated systematically. The results revealed that La 2 O 3 additives had little influence on the dielectric constant but significantly changed the microstructure of the glass-ceramics, which led to improved breakdown strength (BDS). The optimized energy-storage density of 3.18 J/cm 3 was achieved in the glass-ceramics with 1.0 wt% La 2 O 3 content which is 2.56 times higher than pure BST glass-ceramics, suggesting glass-ceramics of this composition could be an attractive candidate for energy-storage applications.
