Abstract

The critical role of electrical homogeneity in optimising electric-field breakdown strength (BDS) and energy storage in high energy density (0.7 −x)BiFeO3-0.3BaTiO3-xBi(Li0.5Nb0.5)O3(BF-BT-xBLN) lead-free capacitors is demonstrated. The high BDS for bulk ceramics and multilayers (dielectric layer thickness ∼ 8 μm) of ∼260 and ∼950 kV cm−1, respectively, gives rise to record-performance of recoverable energy density,Wrec= 13.8 J cm−3and efficiency,η= 81%. Under an electric field of 400 kV cm−1, multilayers are temperature stable up to 100 °C, frequency independent in the range 10−2to 102Hz, have low strain (<0.03%) and are fatigue-resistant up to 104cycles (Wrecvariation < 10%). These properties show promise for practical use in pulsed power systems.
