摘要

Dielectrics with high permittivity, low dielectric loss, and good temperature stability are crucial for electronic components to meet the ever-increasing application demands. However, challenges remain in further optimizing dielectric properties due to the correlation between these parameters. Here, we propose a chemical bonding engineering strategy in high-entropy CaTiO3 ceramics and realize colossal permittivity with low loss and excellent stability. Our results reveal that the high-concentration oxygen vacancy ( \({{{\rm{V}}}}_{{{\rm{O}}}}^{\cdot \cdot }\) V O )-related defects and the decreased activation energy of grain/grain boundary led to a colossal permittivity dielectric behavior, which should be ascribed to the weakened chemical bonding and the reduced formation energy of defects confirmed by our first-principles calculation. Consequently, in the high-entropy CaTiO3 ceramic, a permittivity of 2.37 × 105, low loss of 0.005, and good temperature stability (<± 15%) in -50–250 °C are simultaneously achieved. This finding implies that chemical bonding engineering may be a promising strategy for designing colossal permittivity materials and provides a broad opportunity for the development of other defect-dependent functional materials.
