Study on the relaxation behavior and energy storage properties of (Bi0.88La0.12)ScO3-modified Bi0.5Na0.46Li0.04TiO3 ceramics
摘要
Excellent power density, quick charge/discharge rates, and great energy storage capacity of lead-free dielectric ceramic capacitors have drawn a lot of interest. In this work, doping with Bi0.88La0.12ScO3 (BLS) enhanced the relaxation behavior and energy storage characteristics of Bi0.5Na0.46Li0.04TiO3 (BNLT)-based ceramics. Grain size was greatly lowered from 3.4 to 1.79 μm and XRD and SEM studies revealed that the doped La3+ and Sc3+ ions were effectively integrated into the matrix lattice. The relaxable index of the ceramics reached 1.92 as the BLS doping content rose; likewise, the recovered energy density (Wrec) and energy efficiency (η) improved. Excellent energy storage properties (Wrec = 5.62 J/cm3, η = 81%) were shown by the BNLT-0.09BLS ceramic under a field strength of 350 kV/cm. In the temperature range of 30 to 200 °C and frequency range of 5 to 150 Hz, it also displayed good frequency stability and thermal stability. Moreover, charge/discharge experiments showed that the ceramic has an ultra-fast discharge rate (t0.9 = 0.18 μs). These outstanding comprehensive characteristics of BNLT-0.09BLS ceramics provide a valuable source of reference for the design of effective dielectric capacitors.
