Highlights Ultrahigh energy storage density of ~ 13.8 J cm−3 and large efficiency of ~ 82.4% are achieved in high-entropy lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics via high-entropy strategy, realizing nearly ten times growth. Outstanding energy storage properties are attributed to the enhanced random field and breakdown field, decreased nanodomain sizes, strong multiple local distortions coexisting in-phase and anti-phase oxygen octahedron tilts. Evolution of energy storage performance and domain structure with the increase in configuration entropy is systematically revealed for the first time.
