Abstract
(Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have attracted considerable interest due to their high‐energy storage density and numerous field‐induced phase transitions. However, the positional equilibrium of the A‐site and B‐site is typically maintained without considering that heterovalent doping of La3+ can induce defects within the material, leading to high‐temperature leakage conduction. In this work, we introduced the acceptor ion Na+ at the A‐site simultaneously and designed Pb0.9175–0.5xLa0.055NaxZr0.975Ti0.025O3 (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.055, 0.07, 0.10) AFE ceramics. The dielectric properties of these ceramics exhibited a consistent pattern of improvement followed by deterioration as the content of Na+ increased. Notably, when x = 0.055 (Na5.5), the AFE ceramic demonstrated superior high‐temperature frequency stability with negligible leakage conduction. Impedance spectroscopy analysis suggested that Na5.5 displays the greatest resistance and highest Edc. Concurrently, the thermally stimulated depolarization current indicates that Na5.5 possesses the lowest defect concentration and the largest Ea. This can be attributed to the internal generation of defect dipole clusters (), which effectively restrict the movement of charged defects. These findings suggest that Na5.5 holds significant potential for application and offer insights into the understanding of internal defects in lead‐based AFE materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
