Abstract
Nowadays, advanced dielectric ceramic capacitor-based electrostatic energy-storage science and technology are frequently employed in pulsed power systems. Based on the traditional polycrystalline ferroelectric Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.10Ti0.90O3, the 0.4 Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 –0.6 Ba0.9Sr0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1O3 medium-entropy material with good energy storage and electrocaloric effect performances is designed and synthesized by sol-gel method. The structural, dielectric, energy storage and electrocaloric effect properties of the prepared sample were studied. The findings demonstrate that the 0.4 Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 –0.6 Ba0.9Sr0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1O3 ceramic simultaneously has a significant recoverable energy storage density of 255.4 mJ/cm3, an efficiency of 67.9 %, a large electrocaloric effect temperature change of ΔT = 1.36 K, and a high ξmax of 0.453 K mm/kV under a low electric field of 30 kV/cm. Moreover, excellent temperature stability (40–120 °C) of the recoverable energy storage Wrec (less than 10 %) was achieved in the investigated sample 0.4BCZT-0.6BSTSn. This study demonstrates that the 0.4BCZT-0.6BSTSn ceramic is a promising candidate for solid-state cooling and energy storage dielectric ceramics through exploring medium-entropy composition.
