... Where P r is the remnant polarisation and P m is the maximum polarisation, W r is recoverable energy, W l is the loss and P 0 is the initial polarisation in the charge discharge process. However, majority of research in energy density applications has concentrated on the high electric field [20][21][22][23][24]. This factor could restrict its feasible applications when integrated into the realm of portable, wearable and flexible electronic systems, which have gained importance in contemporary society. ...

This study highlights the effect of copper oxide (CuO) doping on electrocaloric (EC) and energy storage (ES) properties of solid state synthesised 1-x(0.6[Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3]-0.4[(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3])-xCuO (1-xBZCT-xCuO) ceramics with x = 0.005 to 0.05. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis evidences the formation of impurity free 1-xBZCT-xCuO ceramics. Further, XRD, Raman and temperature dependent dielectric studies reveal that the inclusion of CuO into the BZCT lattice suppresses the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and reduces the tetragonality (c/a ratio) and consequently enhances the diffused phase transition (DPT) behaviour. The Curie temperature (Tc) shifted towards lower temperature, as the CuO content increases in 1-xBZCT-xCuO ceramics. Significantly, 0.995BZCT-0.005CuO ceramics demonstrated a maximum recoverable energy density (Wr) of 398 mJ/cm³ with an efficiency of 90 % under electric field of 100 kV/cm with an excellent heat stability. Moreover, EC effect exhibited a temperature change of 1.02 K at 30 kV/cm and a responsivity of 0.03 Kcm/kV near Tc.

In this work, we report the effect of gallium content on the structure and electric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of hydrothermally synthesized GaxFe2−xO3 (x = 0.7, 1 & 1.3) nanocrystalline samples.

The Rietveld refinement analysis confirmed the non-perovskite structure with random occupancy of Ga/Fe ions in the hexagonal lattice and shows a decrease in lattice parameters and volume with increasing Ga content. The temperature-dependent magnetizations reveal the ferrimagnetic nature of the samples at room temperature (RT), and the canted spin state decreased with Ga content. Ferroelectric polarization confirms the existence of ferroelectricity in our samples. The leakage current density, frequency-dependent dielectric constant, and polarization increase with increasing Ga concentration. Magnetoelectric studies show a linear ME coupling response for GaxFe2−xO3 samples, and the ME coupling coefficient at RT is high for GFO (αME = 27ps/m) with x = 1 composition.
... While the addition of lanthanum oxide has shown promise in improving electric field-induced strain in BNKT-based solid solutions, the electrostriction and electric field-induced energy storage properties of lead-free piezoelectric materials, specifically BNT-based ceramics doped with complex perovskite materials containing La 2 O 3 , remain relatively unexplored [29]. One such intriguing complex perovskite material, BNKT-ST, has garnered attention for its exceptional dielectric properties, boasting a remarkably high dielectric constant [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].

Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (BNT-BT) thin films were prepared via both chemical solution (CSD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated. High stability of the dielectric permittivity or TCC (∆ε/ε (150 °C) ≤ ±15%) over a wide temperature range from room temperature to 300 °C was obtained. Distinctly, the CSD film showed high TCC stability with variation of ±5% up to 250 °C. Furthermore, the CSD film showed an unsaturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop characteristic of the ergodic relaxor phase. However, the PLD one exhibited an almost saturated loop characteristic of the coexistence of both ergodic and non-ergodic states. The energy storage properties of the prepared films were determined using P–E loops obtained at different temperatures. The results show that these films exhibited a stable and improved energy storage density comparable to ceramic capacitors. Moreover, the CSD film exhibited more rigidity and better energy storage density, which exceeded 1.3 J/cm3 under a weak applied field of 317 kV/cm, as well as interesting efficiency in a large temperature range. The obtained results are very promising for energy storage capacitors operating at high temperatures.

Dielectric ceramics with high polarization and low sintering temperature are important for high-performance and low-cost multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Herein, BiFeO3 was added to a lead-free composition 0.48BaTiO3-0.4Bi(Mg0.5Hf0.5)O3-0.12SrTiO3 to lower the sintering temperature and increase the polarization simultaneously. As a result, a low sintering temperature of 950 °C and high comprehensive energy storage properties with a recoverable energy density Wrec of 5.7 J/cm3 and an energy efficiency η of 92% at 450 kV/cm were achieved. Together with the good temperature stability and cycling stability of Wrec and η, the ceramics exhibit great potential in the energy storage MLCCs with low-cost Ag-Pd electrodes with a high Ag content.

Influence of the Addition of Rare Earth Elements on the Energy Storage and Optical Abstract: Rare earth element-doped Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3-BaTiO 3 (BNT-BT-RE) polycrystalline thin films were processed on a platinized substrate by chemical solution deposition. The microstructure, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated for all prepared films. It was found that the incorporation of rare earth elements into the BNT-BT matrix increases both the dielectric constant and the breakdown strength while maintaining low dielectric losses, leading to an enhancement of the energy storage density to W rec = 12 and 16 J/cm 3 under an effective field of E = 2500 kV/cm, for Nd-and Dy-based films, respectively. The optical properties of films containing the lanthanide element were investigated and the obtained results bear interest for luminescence applications. The simultaneous appearance of ferroelectric and optical properties in the system under investigation is very promising for advanced optoelectronic devices.

Advanced energy storage ceramics are specially beneficial to pulsed power technologies on account of first-class reliability and ultrafast discharge rate. However, the inferior energy storage performance hinders their further applications in the field of energy storage. In this work, a comprehensive strategy was adopted to synthesize the (1 − x)NaNbO3-x(Bi0.5La0.5)(Mg2/3Ta1/3)O3 ((1 − x)NN-xBLMT) lead-free ceramics by traditional solid-state method. Polar nano-regions are generated and the grain size is reduced to the microscale by introducing complex ions of (Bi0.5La0.5)(Mg2/3Ta1/3)⁶⁺ into the NN ceramic. The enhanced recoverable energy storage density (Wr = 3.69 J/cm³) and a high efficiency (η = 78%) can be realized simultaneously in 0.90NN-0.10BLMT ceramic at 440 kV/cm. Moreover, the ceramic presents excellent thermal and frequency stability within the range of 20–100 °C and 1–100 Hz at 200 kV/cm, respectively. More noteworthy, an ultrafast discharge rate (t0.9 = 23.6 ns) can be achieved in 0.90NN-0.10BLMT ceramic at 120 kV/cm, which is better than that of other lead-free energy storage ceramics. These results show that 0.90NN-0.10BLMT ceramic has broad application prospects in lead-free dielectric ceramic capacitors.
