Abstract
Ceramic dielectrics are reported with superior energy storage performance for applications, such as power electronics in electrical vehicles. A recoverable energy density (Wrec) of ∼4.55 J cm−3 with η ∼ 90% is achieved in lead-free relaxor BaTiO3-0.06Bi2/3(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics at ∼520 kV cm−1. These ceramics may be co-fired with Ag/Pd, which constitutes a major step forward toward their potential use in the fabrication of commercial multilayer ceramic capacitors. Compared to stoichiometric Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3-doped BaTiO3 (BT), A-site deficient Bi2/3(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 reduces the electrical heterogeneity of BT. Bulk conductivity differs from the grain boundary only by 1 order of magnitude which, coupled with a smaller volume fraction of conducting cores due to enhanced diffusion of the dopant via A-site vacancies in the A-site sublattice, results in higher breakdown strength under an electric field. This strategy can be employed to develop new dielectrics with improved energy storage performance.
