Abstract

Abstract: A newly designed glass-ceramic system consisting of 15Bi2 O3 -15Nb2 O5 -40SiO2 -30Al2 O3 was successfully prepared, which was followed by its controlled crystallization at different heating temperatures. The effects of crystallization temperature on the microstructure, phase evolution and the energy storage behaviors of the novel material were systematically investigated. A maximum theoretical energy storage density of up to 15.3 J/cm 3 was found in the samples heated at 800 °C. The polarization-electric (PE) hysteresis loops of this material exhibited very good linear character and high energy efficiency. In addition, an approximate value of 25 ns for discharged period T has been obtained, which demonstrated that most of the energy stored in dielectric was released over a very short time. The maximum powder density exceeds a high value of 90 MW/cc in a 390 kV/cm electric field. Therefore, the new developed Bi2 O3 -Nb2 O5 -SiO2 -Al2 O3 glass-ceramic can be used as an alternative, promising high-performance electrostatic capacitor material.
