Near-zero energy loss and high dielectric temperature stability in a lead-free high-entropy perovskite ceramic
摘要
Recently, high-entropy dielectric ceramics have attracted much attention in the field of energy storage. Here, we prepared (BiNaKLaSrCa)1/6Ti1-x(Mg1/3Nb2/3)xO3 high-entropy ceramics using the conventional solid-state reaction method, and studied the impact of B-site Mg/Nb co-doping on the electrical properties. Our results reveal that as x increases from 0 to 1, the ceramic transitions from a relaxor ferroelectric to a linear dielectric, resulting in reduced recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) and enhanced energy storage efficiency (η). At 200 kV/cm, the x = 0 sample shows Wrec = 1.92 J/cm3 and η = 91.4%, while the x = 1 sample exhibits Wrec = 0.37 J/cm3 and η = 98.9%. Notably, the x = 1 sample shows exceptional dielectric temperature stability, with the dielectric constant (at 100 Hz) varying by only ~ 2% over a wide temperature range from -100 °C to 200 °C. This work not only suggests that (BiNaKLaSrCa)1/6(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 as a novel linear dielectric ceramic with near-zero energy loss and excellent dielectric temperature stability has promising potential for dielectric capacitors in precision electronic devices, but also provides new insights into the development of high-entropy dielectric ceramics.
