Compared to batteries and electrochemical capacitors, dielectric capacitors are widely studied because of their huge advantages in terms of charging/discharging speed and power density. In this work, high-entropy (Bi0.2Na0.2Sr0.2Ba0.2Ca0.2)TiO3 lead-free relaxor-ferroelectric ceramics were prepared by both conventional sintering (CS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The results showed that the ceramic prepared by SPS obtained a high energy storage density of 6.66 J/cm3 and a satisfied energy storage efficiency of 77.2% under an electric field of 430 kV/cm. This is directly related to the high density, fine grains, number of oxygen vacancies, and composition uniformity of the SPS samples. This study provides a new path for the preparation of high-entropy dielectric energy storage ceramics with high energy storage properties.
