Advancements and challenges in BaTiO3-Based materials for enhanced energy storage

Abstract

Numerous researchers worldwide have been motivated to develop highly effective, environmentally acceptable green energy sources as a result of the recent sharp increase in energy use and the need for low emission levels. The energy generated from various renewable sources can be stored efficiently with a system that has a high energy density and high energy efficiency. Due to their enhanced dielectric, ferroelectric, and breakdown strength characteristics, BaTiO3 based dielectric/ferroelectric ceramic materials have received a lot of interest for energy storage applications in the past tw decades. In the present work, a thorough analysis of recent advancements in composites and single-phase BaTiO3 materials with enhanced energy storage performance. This review's main focus is on the crucial tactics and theoretical frameworks for improving the energy efficiency and recovered energy storage density of various BaTiO3-based materials. A thorough summary has been provided with the most recent developments in BaTiO3 based materials for multi-layered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), pulse power capacitors, piezoelectric transducers, energy harvesting, electric vehicle batteries, and high-power electronic devices in order to confirm the commercial applications of BaTiO3 based single phase as well as multi-phase layered structures and composites.
