摘要

This study examines the structural, ferroelectric, and energy storage properties of La-doped BaTiO3 ceramics synthesized using sol-gel (SG) and solid-state reaction (SSR) methods. Structural properties were verified by X-ray refinement and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SSR-derived ceramics feature a coarse-grained microstructure with larger grain sizes (5.57 μm), facilitating easier domain switching under an applied electric field of 62 kV/cm. This results in broader ferroelectric hysteresis loops and a maximum polarization (Pmax ≈ 17.87 µC/cm2). However, increased domain mobility leads to more significant energy loss during polarization reversal, resulting in an energy storage efficiency of 48%. In contrast, SG-synthesized ceramics exhibit a fine-grained microstructure (grain size ~ 5.57 μm) that restricts domain wall motion, yielding slimmer hysteresis loops with reduced energy losses and slightly lower polarization (Pmax ≈ 15.88 µC/cm2). Consequently, the SG samples demonstrate superior energy storage performance, achieving a higher energy efficiency of 64%. These results underscore the crucial impact of synthesis methods on microstructural features and functional properties, particularly for energy storage applications. This research provides valuable insights into designing and optimizing BaTiO3 ceramics for advanced energy storage and capacitor applications.
