Abstract
The temperature-dependent energy storage properties of four tungsten bronze-type ceramics are studied together with an investigation of their structure and temperature-dependent permittivity response, i.e., Ba6Ti2Nb8O30 (BTN), Ba6Zr2Nb8O30 (BZN), Sr3TiNb4O15 (STN) and Sr3ZrNb4O15 (SZN) ceramics. With different cations at A and B sites, those four ceramics exhibit different crystal structures and show significantly different microstructure features and dielectric responses with changing temperatures. It was observed under SEM that BZN has smaller grains and a more porous structure than BTN. SZN shows the most porous structure among all samples, exhibiting a much lower permittivity response than other samples with no signs of phase transitions from room temperature to 400 °C. Though the energy storage response of those samples is generally quite low, they exhibit good temperature stability together with low dielectric loss. It was suggested that by obtaining a denser structure through chemical modification or other methods, those tungsten bronze ceramics with good temperature stability could be promising as energy storage devices when improved energy storage properties are achieved.
