Excellent energy storage properties in BaTiO3–Bi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3-based relaxor ferroelectric ceramics via Ca doping
摘要
Dielectric ceramics derived from binary solid solutions are promising candidates for pulse-device capacitors owing to their excellent relaxation properties. The results demonstrate that 0.8Ba1−xCaxTiO3–0.2Bi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 (BCT–BMT–xCa) exhibits a high breakdown strength and dielectric constant, enhancing its energy storage capabilities. At a calcium doping level of 0.16, the material achieves the highest electric field before breakdown (Maximum electric field Emax = 610 kV/cm), a 42% improvement over the undoped component, with maximum recoverable energy storage density (Wrec = 6.74 J/cm3, η = 83.05%). Pulse charge–discharge tests revealed an ultrafast discharge response (31 ns) under 300 kV/cm and high current density and power density (CD = 1295 A/cm2, PD = 195 MW/cm3). These results suggest that BCT–BMT ceramics have significant potential in high-pulsed-power applications owing to their excellent performance.
