Energy storage ceramic field scale

How do we evaluate the energy-storage performance of ceramics?

To evaluate the overall energy-storage performance of these ceramics, we measured the unipolar P - E loops of these ceramics at their characteristic breakdown strength (Fig. 3E and fig. S13) and calculated the discharged energy densities Ue and energy-storage efficiency η (Fig. 3F and fig. S14).

What is the energy storage density of St-based ceramics?

In recent years, although impressive progress has been achieved in the energy storage improvement of ST-based ceramics, as compared with (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5)TiO 3 (BNT)-based and BaTiO 3 (BT)-based ceramics , the energy storage densities of ST-based ceramics are relatively low (mostly with Wrec < 4 J/cm 3).

Do dielectric ceramics have a high entropy strategy?

Dielectric ceramics are widely used in advanced high/pulsed power capacitors. Here, the authors propose a high-entropy strategy to design “local polymorphic distortion” in lead-free ceramics, achieving high energy storage performance.

Can lead-free ceramics achieve ultrahigh energy storage density 10 J cm 3?

Recently, high Wrec and high η have been reported in some Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 (BNT)-based lead-free ceramics 19, 20, 21. However, the great challenge of realizing ultrahigh energy storage density (Wrec ≥10 J cm −3) with simultaneous ultrahigh efficiency (η ≥ 90%) still exists in lead-free ceramics and has not been overcome.

How to improve energy storage performance in dielectric ceramic multilayer capacitors?

Compared with the 0.87BaTiO 3 –0.13Bi (Zn 2/3 (Nb 0.85 Ta 0.15) 1/3)O 3 MLCC counterpart without SiO 2 coating, the discharge energy density was enhanced by 80%. The multiscale optimization strategy should be a universal approach to improve the overall energy storage performance in dielectric ceramic multilayer capacitors.

Which lead-free ceramic systems have the best energy storage properties?

Further breakthroughs in energy storage properties were also achieved in other representative lead-free ceramic systems, such as the excellent Wrec values of 7.4, 8.2, and 12.2 J cm −3 in (K,Na)NbO 3 (KNN), BiFeO 3 (BF), and NaNbO 3 (NN)-based systems, respectively 7, 8, 9.
