Abstract
Due to the novel high-entropy effects, entropy engineering strategies have been widely implemented in perovskite dielectric ceramics to improve their comprehensive energy storage performance. In this study, by designing (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06)0.75(Ca0.5Sr0.5)0.25TiO3 matrix and co-doping of Nd3+ at A-site and (Zr1/3Hf1/3Sn1/3)4+ at B-site, novel (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3-based high-entropy ceramics (HECs) are developed to optimize energy storage performance. The results reveal that the configuration entropy can be improved by co-regulation of A/B-site compositions, and the increased entropy can promote the suppression of grain size, the enhancement of dielectric relaxation and impedance, and the widening of band gap, giving rise to small remanent polarization and great breakdown strength (Eb). Eventually, the composition with the maximum entropy of 1.92R exhibits superior recoverable energy storage density (Wrec ∼ 6.84 J/cm3) and high efficiency (η ∼ 82.9 %) at a large Eb ∼ 597 kV/cm, as well as good temperature stability, frequency stability and charge-discharge characteristics. These findings imply that designing high-entropy systems through A/B-site co-regulation is an effective approach for developing high-performance energy storage devices.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
