Abstract
Enhancing the efficacy of energy storage materials is crucial for advancing contemporary electronic devices and energy storage technologies. This research focuses on boosting the energy storage capabilities of BaTiO3 ceramics through Mg2+ doping. Introducing Mg2+ ions into the BaTiO3 lattice induces defects and grain boundary effects, significantly influencing ferroelectric properties. Rietveld refinements of X-ray diffraction confirmed that both pure and Mg-doped samples show the same tetragonal phase. SEM analysis revealed a refined grain microstructure in the Mg2+ doped BT sample, which resulted in improved thermal stability and pinched ferroelectric hysteresis loops. Incorporating Mg2+ ions into the BT host lattice significantly enhanced energy storage density from 0.204 J/cm3 to 1.42 J/cm3 and efficiency rising from 21 to 89%. This enhancement is attributed to defect dipole engineering and the attainment of fine grain size. Furthermore, an examination of the electronic structure, overall density of states (DOS), and electronic density of both samples is undertaken. The defect dipole mechanism proposed in this study introduces a novel and promising strategy for developing high-performance energy storage in ferroelectric ceramics, holding great promise for next-generation applications.
