Simultaneously, the microstructure of the glass-ceramics manifests signs of deterioration, characterized by larger grain size and heightened porosity, leading to a reduction in breakdown strength. At a crystallization temperature of 1100 °C, the CSNNS glass-ceramics demonstrated a remarkable combination of a high dielectric constant (∼280) and superior breakdown strength (481 kV/cm). The achieved maximum theoretical energy storage density reached 2.87 J/cm<sup>3</sup>.
