Superior energy storage performance of < 001 > -oriented NBT-BY-STO relaxor ferroelectric textured ceramics

In this paper, < 001 > -oriented ternary NBT-BY-STO textured ceramics were prepared by tape casting technique based on composition design and orientation engineering strategies. The introduction of BY greatly reduces the grain size and increases the breakdown field strength, resulting in the improvement of the energy storage density. The relaxation behavior and saturation polarization of the ceramics were enhanced by < 001 > -orientation engineering, and so significantly increased energy storage density and energy storage efficiency. Finally, the energy storage performance of NBT-based ceramics was improved obviously. When x = 0.3, the energy storage density reached 5.34 J/cm(3), and the energy storage efficiency was 83.91%. The prepared textured ceramics have excellent temperature, frequency stability and charge-discharge characteristics. Therefore, < 001 > -oriented ternary textured ceramics prepared in this paper is a potential dielectric material for pulse powder device, and this strategy of optimizing the energy storage performance also provides guidance of energy storage performance regulation for dielectric energy storage materials.
