Abstract

Abstract: (1− x )Bi1/2 Na1/2 TiO3 – x Ba1/2 Sr1/2 TiO3 –0.05KNaNbO3 (BNT–BST–KN, x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) lead-free anti-ferroelectric ceramics were synthesized by a conventional solid-state. The hysteresis loop of the ceramic at different temperature under 70 kV/cm electric field was analyzed. In this paper, the energy storage properties of BNT–BST–KNN ceramics are studied. It was found that the addition of Sr element helps to improve the electric field strength tolerance and the breakdown resistance performance the material, so as to improve its energy storage density. At room temperature, the P–E curves of the materials in the system basically show a double hysteresis loop, and with the increase of temperature, the characteristics of the double hysteresis curve are particularly obvious. The ceramics exist in the ferroelectric–antiferroelectric coexistence phase region near 303 K, namely the morphotropic phase boundary region. It shows that the ceramic has anti-ferroelectric characteristics at room temperature, and is a typical anti-ferroelectric material.
