Abstract

Lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics are attracting attention due to their fast charge/discharge and environmentally friendly properties. In this work, the bismuth sodium titanate-barium titanate-barium zirconate titanate [(0.94Bi0·51Na0·47TiO3-0.06BaTiO3)-xBaZr0.3Ti0·7O3, abbreviated as BNBT-100xBZT] relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction technique. The microstructure, energy storage properties, and conductivity mechanism of BNBT-100xBZT were analyzed as the barium zirconate titanate doping content changed. All BNBT-100xBZT have a single perovskite structure by XRD. The BNBT-5BZT ceramics was found to be tetragonal by Rietveld refinement. Moreover, the doping of BZT is beneficial to optimize the breakdown strength (BDS). Owing to the higher BDS, an effective energy storage density of 1.457 J/cm3 was obtained under 122 kV/cm in BNBT-5BZT with an energy storage efficiency (η) of 81.9%. In addition, BNBT-5BZT has outstanding temperature and cycling stability. The results indicate that BNBT-5BZT ceramics is excellent candidates for energy storage devices.
