Self-generated relaxor antiferroelectric composite ceramics with high energy storage properties
摘要
In this reserch, (1-x)NaNbO3-xBiFeO3 solid solutions were reported to clearly show relaxor antiferroelectric phase structure dependent energy storage properties, evolving from Wrec = 1.63 J/cm3 and η = 27% in the case of x = 0.04 at 300 kV/cm to 7.4 J/cm3 and 83.4% in the case of x = 0.12 at 500 kV/cm. To further decrease the dielectric loss and improve the breakdown strength of 0.88NaNbO3-0.12BiFeO3 ceramic, MnO2 was incorporated into it. In particular, When 1 wt% MnO2 was added, a MnFe2O4/0.88NN-0.12BF-Mn composite ceramic was unexpectedly obtained. A small amount of second phase significantly increases the breakdown field strength of the material, thereby obtaining a super large energy storage density Wrec of 13.4 J/cm3 and excellent energy efficiency η of 87.4% at 700 kV/cm. The finding of this study provide valuable insights of self-generated composite structure to obtain good energy storage performence in NaNbO3-based lead-free ceramics.
