Enhanced energy-storage performance with optimized thermally stable dielectric property in BNT–BST ceramics modified by KNN doping

Abstract

Developing environmental-friendly materials with high-density energy storage is of paramount importance to meet the burgeoning demands for energy storage. In this study, we harness the modulation of a multicomponent solid solution by introducing KNN as a third element into the BNT–BST system, thereby achieving a marked enhancement in both energy storage performance and the temperature stability of the dielectric constant. BNBST–4KNN stands out for its exceptional dielectric stability, with a dielectric constant variation rate within 10% across a broad temperature range of [Formula: see text]C to [Formula: see text]C, a feat attributed to the flattening and broadening of the [Formula: see text] peak. BNBT–2KNN exhibits superior energy storage capabilities, with an energy storage density of 1.324 J/cm3 and an energy storage efficiency of 72.3%, a result of the P–E loop becoming more slender. These advancements are pivotal for the sustainable progression of energy storage technologies.
