Structure, dielectric and relaxor properties of Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 lead-free ceramics for energy storage applications
Abstract
Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 (SBT) by increasing the proportion and size of polar nano-region. Meanwhile, the BDS remains a high level with x ≤ 0.38 attributed to the addition of KBT with a large band gap. As a result, the 0.62SBT-0.38KBT exhibits a high energy storage density of 2.21 J/cm3 with high η of 91.4% at 220 kV/cm and superior temperature stability (−55 ∼ 150 °C), frequency stability (10 ∼ 500 Hz) and fatigue resistance (105 cycles). Moreover, high pulsed discharge energy density (1.81 J/cm3), high power density (49.5 MW/cm3) and great thermal stability (20 ∼ 160 °C) are achieved in 0.62SBT-0.38KBT. Based on these excellent properties, the 0.62SBT-0.38KBT are suitable for pulsed power systems. This work provides a novel strategy and systematic study for improving energy storage properties of SBT.
