Enhanced dielectric temperature stability and energy storage properties of BNT-based lead-free ceramics under medium electric field
摘要
The ceramics (1 − x)Bi0.58Na0.42Ti0.96Mg0.04O3+δ-xSrTiO3 (denoted as BNMT-xST) were prepared via a conventional solid-state sintering method. Effect of SrTiO3 content on crystallite structure, microstructure, dielectric, and energy storage properties was studied. The results of both Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction curves indicate that the introduction of Sr2+ causes lattice distortion. Grain sizes of the ceramics decrease due to the doping of Sr2+. The breakdown strength increases higher than 120 kV/cm for the doped ceramics compared to the ceramic with x = 0 (89 kV/cm). BNMT-0.35ST exhibits excellent dielectric temperature stability between 46 and 289 °C, meeting the requirement of TCC ≤ ± 15%. The recoverable energy density and energy storage efficiency of BNMT-0.35ST are 2.9 J/cm3 and 84.3% under the medium electric field of 265 kV/cm, respectively, which also exhibits excellent temperature stability between 25 and 125 °C as well as frequency stability between 5 and 500 Hz. The introduction of SrTiO3 leads to the formation of polar nanoregions, enhancing relaxation behavior and improving energy storage properties.
