However, the existence of the antiferroelectric P phase at room temperature causes large hysteresis, resulting in reduced energy storage efficiency. In this study, 0.88NaNbO3–0.12Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 ceramics doped with Nd3+ (i.e., 0.88Na1-3xNdxNbO3-0.12Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3) at x = 0.0 − 0.025 were prepared via conventional solid-state mixed oxide route. The XRD data showed that all samples exhibited an orthorhombic structure. With increasing Nd3+ doping content, the antiferroelectric P (Pbma) phase to R (Pnma) phase transition temperature (TP-R) shifted to lower temperatures. Consistent with the dielectric properties, a transition to a relaxor-like slim P-E loop indicative of an AFE R phase was observed at the composition x ≥ 0.01. This led to an increase in both the recoverable energy-storage density (Wrec) and efficiency (η) with an increasing amount of Nd3+ doping level. The maximum recoverable energy storage density (Wrec = 0.54 J/cm3) and high energy storage efficiency (η = 93%) were observed at x = 0.025 under an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. In addition, the optimum composition at x = 0.025 also exhibited excellent temperature stability from 25 °C to 150 °C.

Fatigue-induced domain orientations, physical damage or microcracking, and defects were studied using, X-ray diffraction (XRD), synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The remnant polarization (Pr) decreased with the number of fatigue cycles, and the rate at which the decrease occurred was different for different fatigue temperatures. The weak and strong domain wall pinning effects played a major role in the Pr value with respect to the fatigue cycles. The sharp rise of Ec value at 5 × 103 cycles and the abrupt decrease of Ec values after 5 × 104 cycles could be due to the field screening effect and heat recovery of pinned domains. The abrupt decrease of Pr values after 5 × 105 cycles could be due to physical damage near the electrode interface region, and the same physical damage decreased with the increase in fatigue temperature.
