Abstract
Low energy-storage density and inferior thermal stability are a long-term obstacle to the advancement of pulse power devices. Herein, these concerns are addressed by improving bandgap and fabricating polar nanoregions, and the superior high efficiency of ~ 86.7%, excellent thermal stability of ~ 2% (31–160 °C) and energy density of ~ 6.8 J·cm–3 are achieved in Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–La0.1Sr0.8TiO3-δ–NaNbO3 ceramics. The high breakdown strength (460 kV·cm–1) is ascribed to the broadened bandgap and refined grain. Slim ferroelectric loops originate from the construction of polar nanoregions (PNRs) in a pseudocubic matrix, and transmission electron microscope and piezoelectric force microscope measurements reveal the occurrence of PNRs. The phase-field stimulation and UV–Vis spectrophotometer measurement reveal that the increased grain boundary density and bandgap are beneficial for promoting breakdown strength. The strategy provides an efficient path to prepare Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3La0.1Sr0.8TiO3-δ-based ceramics with superior efficiency, high energy density and outstanding thermal stability.
