Abstract
High-entropy strategy is acknowledged effective to improve energy storage performance of dielectric materials, yet the underlying mechanisms require further exploration. In this work, based on ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT), we developed a series of (Bi0.25La0.25Na0.25K0.25)Ti1-xZrxO3 (BLNKTZ, x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10) ceramics with varying configuration entropy (ΔSconfig), by introducing La/K and Zr with the same valence of Bi/Na and Ti, respectively. The high-entropy ceramic with x = 0.05 (ΔSconfig = 1.58 R) demonstrated excellent energy storage performance, achieving a recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 6.6 J/cm3 and efficiency (η) of 84 %. Additionally, the sample exhibited excellent temperature/frequency stability, fatigue resistance, high power density, high discharge density, and ultrafast charge-discharge speed. The proposed isovalent high-entropy doping strategy not only retains common advantages of high-entropy, i.e., multiphase polar nanoregions (PNRs) and ultrafine grains, but also improves lattice integrity and reduces oxygen vacancy concentration, thereby achieving high breakdown strength (Eb) and superior energy storage performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
