Abstract
The lead-free ceramics (1-x)(0.84Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.16Bi0.5K0.5TiO3)-xBiMg2/3Nb1/3O3 (denoted as (1-x)BNKT-xBMN) and (1-y)(0.85BNKT-0.15BMN)-ySr0.7La0.2TiO3 with y = 0.3 (denoted as BNKMN-0.3SLT) were prepared by means of a conventional solid state sintering method. Effects of introduction of BiMg2/3Ni1/3O3 and Sr0.7La0.2TiO3 on phase structure, microstructure, and dielectric, ferroelectric and energy storage properties of the ceramics were studied in detail. The ceramics (1-x)BNKT-xBMN show pure perovskite structure, while BNKMN-0.3SLT appears a secondary phase. All ceramics exhibit dense microstructures with mean grain sizes between 0.56 μm and 1.36 μm. The introduction of SLT into BNKMN causes obvious decrease in dielectric constant around Curie temperature, inducing the widest temperature window of 263 °C from 29 °C to 292 °C for TCC≤±15 %. The ceramic BNKMN-0.3SLT shows high electric breakdown strength (Eb ∼ 300 kV/cm), large maximum polarization (Pm ∼ 36.48 μC/cm2), and low remanent polarization (Pr ∼ 1.70 μC/cm2), inducing high energy storage density of 4.03 J/cm3 as well as high energy storage efficiency of 85.2 %.
