摘要

Among the notable features of the lead-free material KNbO3 (KNb) are its exceptional energy storage density (Wrec) and high breakdown electric field strength (Eb). However, the considerable energy loss associated with KNb limits its applicability in energy storage, adversely affecting both Wrec and efficiency (η) under strong electric fields. This study explores an innovative approach to enhance the energy storage capacity of NBT-SrT-xKNb ceramics (x = 0.1–0.4). The incorporation of KNb disrupts the long-range ordered structure and effectively reduces grain size, resulting in the formation of polar nanoregions (PNRs) that help mitigate energy density loss. As the concentration of KNb increases, significant improvements in both Wrec and η are observed. NBT-SrT-xKNb (x = 0.3) exhibits the best performance among all variations, achieving a high energy storage density (Wrec = 3.13 J/cm3), rapid conversion efficiency (η = 85%), and excellent breakdown strength. Under a mild electric field 30 kV/cm, the substitution of KNb results in a significant strain response of approximately 0.24%. Additionally, a longitudinal strain value of 129 pC/N was recorded. These lead-free ceramics present compelling candidates for current energy storage applications as well as next-generation electro ceramics.
