Abstract
Bismuth layer-structured BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) and BaBi2Ta2O9 (BBT) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were explored as potential energy storage materials. Remarkable energy storage performances were obtained in both BBN and BBT ceramics, featured by large recoverable energy storage density (~0.84 J/cm3 and ~0.68 J/cm3) and high energy storage efficiency (~90% and ~94%), respectively. Furthermore, both the two ceramics exhibit good thermal and frequency stabilities. Delightedly, both the BBN and BBT ceramics can complete the discharge process within 0.15 μs, resulting in ultrahigh current density of 195 A/cm2 and 234 A/cm2 and excellent power density of 10.74 MW/cm3 and 12.89 MW/cm3, respectively. The obtained results suggest that BaBi2Nb2O9 and BaBi2Ta2O9 ceramics could have a promising future in energy storage applications. This study also demonstrates that the bismuth layer-structured relaxor ferroelectric ceramic can be considered as a novel potential lead-free energy storage materials, in addition to the widely studied pervoskite-structured relaxor ferroelectric ceramics.
