The advancement of energy storage glass-ceramics, serving as quintessential elements within pulse power capacitors, is deemed essential for the progression of sophisticated electronic systems, attributable to their ultrafast discharge rate and elevated dielectric breakdown strength (DBS). In this study, the incorporation of 1.2 mol% Nd2O3 into SiO2-Na2O-K2O-BaO-Nb2O5-Nd2O3 (SNKBNN) glass-ceramics has significantly enhanced the material performance. Specifically, a high recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) of 2.06 J/cm3 can be achieved, alongside an ultrahigh efficiency (η) of 92.3 % under an electric field of 630 kV/cm. Additionally, this glass-ceramics also exhibit a high discharge energy density (Wd) of 0.97 J/cm3, an ultrafast discharge rate of 7 ns, and an exceptionally high hardness (Hv) of 10.51 GPa. Additionally, these glass-ceramics exhibit exceptional stability across a range of temperatures (25 to 150 ℃), frequencies (10 to 1000 Hz), and cycling durability (up to 104 cycles). The research has corroborated the structural interdependence between energy storage and mechanical properties, establishing a foundational understanding of their synergistic relationship. The synthesized glass-ceramics demonstrate significant potential for use in high-power dielectric capacitors.
