Abstract

AbstractCeramic capacitors with high electrostatic energy storage performances have captured much research interest in latest years. Sodium bismuth titanate (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)‐based ferroelectric ceramics show great potential due to their environment‐friendly composition, high polarization, and excellent relaxor properties. However, the nonergodic relaxor state of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3‐based ceramics hampers the decrement of remanent polarization, leading to poor energy storage performance. Herein, the (1 − x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3–xLa(Ni2/3Ta1/3)O3 ceramics were designed to generate the transformation between nonergodic and ergodic relaxor state. As a result, the ceramics exhibit improved dielectric relaxation, slim polarization–electric field loops, and flattened current–electric field curves due to highly dynamic polar nanoregions. Particularly, the 0.85Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3–0.15La(Ni2/3Ta1/3)O3 ceramics show large breakdown electric field Eb (345 kV/cm), high recoverable energy density Wrec (3.6 J/cm3), and efficiency η (80.6%), revealing potential applications in electrostatic energy storage.
