Enhanced energy storage properties in Bi0.1Na0.7NbO3-modified Bi0.5(Na, K)0.5TiO3 lead-free ceramics
摘要
To meet the production requirements of high-performance lead-free dielectric capacitor, Bi0.1Na0.7NbO3 (BNN) was introduced into Bi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) ceramics. The phase structure, microstructure, dielectric, and energy storage properties of BNKT-xBNN (x = 0–0.20) were systematically analyzed. The incorporation of BNN reduced the remnant polarization (Pr) and enhanced the relaxor behavior, thus improving the energy storage properties. In particular, the BNKT-0.10BNN composition achieved a high recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) of 1.95 J/cm3 with an energy efficiency (η) of 76.2%. Moreover, the temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) for x = 0.10 composition remained below 15% across 37–400 °C, exhibiting a high dielectric constant (3066) and low dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.0032) at 150 °C. These results not only provide insights into enhancing the energy storage capabilities of BNT-based ceramics but also present potential materials for high-temperature stable capacitors.
