摘要

Antiferroelectrics (AFEs) are long facing the challenge of achieving both high energy storage density and efficiency for dielectric capacitor applications. In this work, a composite regulation strategy based on AFEs is proposed to enhance the energy storage performance of ceramics. Herein, Al2O3 plates were introduced into a relaxor (Pb0.955La0.03)(Zr0.6Sn0.4)0.975Ta0.02O3 (PLZST) AFE matrix and parallel aligned to construct PLZST-Al2O3 composite ceramics. Consequently, the composite ceramics with 0.5-wt% Al2O3 plates manifest a significant improvement in breakdown strength from 350 to 560 kV/cm. This results into an excellent recoverable energy storage density (Wrec = 10.6 J/cm3) and a remarkable energy efficiency (η = 91.0%), representing a 50% enhancement in Wrec compared to the pure PLZST ceramic (7.0 J/cm3). The Al2O3 plates formed a bound with the ceramic matrix, which effectively blocks charge migration, thus boosting energy storage density. This work demonstrates that the PLZST-Al2O3 composite ceramics are promising candidates for energy storage applications.
