Abstract
Dielectric capacitors utilizing ferroelectric compounds have attracted significant research interest due to their high-power density and rapid charge/discharge capabilities. One such promising ferroelectric material is Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT), but its typical ferroelectric behavior, characterized by large hysteresis loops, leads to significant energy loss and limits its storage efficiency. In this study, a modified NBT-based compound, Na0.455Bi0.375Ca0.17Ti0.92Nb0.08O3 (NBCTN), was successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal method, which offers lower reaction temperatures and shorter processing times. A pseudocubic structure with the P4mm space group was confirmed by XRD analysis. Dielectric measurements revealed a broad peak at 0 °C with minimal frequency dependence, confirming diffuse ferroelectric phase transition behavior (DPT) contributing to enhanced energy storage characteristics. Room temperature ferroelectric hysteresis loops exhibited a maximum polarization (Pm) of 6.04 μC/cm2 and a remnant polarization (Pr) of 0.4 μC/cm2 under an applied electric field of 80 kV/cm. Additionally, the NBCTN ceramics demonstrated excellent energy storage performance, achieving a recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 218.90 mJ/cm3 and a high energy efficiency (η) of 82.89 %. These results highlight the potential of NBCTN as a promising candidate for next-generation high-energy-density capacitors.
