Abstract
BiFeO3-BaTiO3 exhibits a high dielectric constant, excellent ferroelectric properties, and mechanical stability, making it a promising material for energy storage applications. However, unmodified BiFeO3-BaTiO3 ceramics typically exhibit high residual polarization and low breakdown strength, resulting in low energy storage density and efficiency. In this study, (1-x)(0.67BiFeO3-0.33BaTiO3)-x(Sr0.7Nd0.2)TiO3 ceramics were prepared and demonstrated a pseudo-cubic perovskite structure at room temperature. As the x value increased, the long-range ordered ferroelectric structure was disrupted, the relaxation characteristics were enhanced, and the grain size decreased significantly. The maximum polarization strength (Pmax) of the composition with x = 0.15 reached 38.57 μC/cm2 at 180 kV/cm. Under low electric fields, this material achieved an excellent recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) of 2.57 J/cm3 and a high energy storage efficiency (η) of 79 %, while also exhibiting good frequency stability and charge/discharge performance. These characteristics suggest its potential application as a next-generation electrostatic capacitor material.
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.
