Abstract
The sodium niobate-based ceramics 0.98[(Na(1−x)/2Smx/2Nb0.3TiO3)] + 0.02MnO2 acronymed NSmNT of different compositions (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, and 0.13) were prepared via solid-state reaction method. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD to study the phase structure of the designed systems, SEM to study the microstructure properties of the NSmNT ceramics. In addition to that LCR meter was used to measure the sample temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss, and systems impedance. The results showed an increment in the dielectric breakdown strength (DBS) with increasing x content from 100 kVcm–1 to 450 kVcm–1. Similarly, the high recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 5.61 J cm–3 was obtained for x = 0.11 symbolized (NSmNT2) with an exquisite efficiency of 88%. The study also analyzed the complex impedance of the NSmNT2 ceramics system to clearly understand the dielectric behavior of the system in question. A general view of things considers the NSmNT2 ceramic system to be a reliable system for pulsed power applications.
