Abstract
Owing to the high power density, excellent operational stability and fast charge/discharge rate, and environmental friendliness, the lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT)-based relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit great potential in pulsed power capacitors. Herein, novel lead-free (1−x)(0.7Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.3Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3)-xBi(Mg0.5Zr0.5)O3 (NBT-SBT-xBMZ) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics were successfully fabricated using a solid-state reaction method and designed via compositional tailoring. The microstructure, dielectric properties, ferroelectric properties, and energy storage performance were investigated. The results indicate that appropriate Bi(Mg0.5Zr0.5)O3 content can effectively enhance the relaxor ferroelectric characteristics and improve the dielectric breakdown strength by forming fine grain sizes and diminishing oxygen vacancy concentrations. Therefore, the optimal Wrec of 6.75 J/cm3 and a η of 79.44% were simultaneously obtained in NBT-SBT-0.15BMZ at 20 °C and 385 kV/cm. Meanwhile, thermal stability (20–180 °C) and frequency stability (1–200 Hz) associated with the ultrafast discharge time of ~49.1 ns were also procured in the same composition, providing a promising material system for applications in power pulse devices.
