Dielectric
ceramic capacitors have attracted immense interest because
of their remarkable power density and excellent charging–discharging
performance. Tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB)-based ferroelectrics
are the second large category of ferroelectric materials. However,
they have not received enough appreciation in the dielectric capacitor
field because of their poor energy storage properties. In this study,
a two-step sintering technique was employed to prepare TTB relaxor
ferroelectric ceramic Sr0.7Ba0.3Nb2O6 (SBN70), aiming to promote its energy storage performance.
Remarkable recoverable energy storage density (W
rec ∼ 3.2 J/cm3) and excellent efficiency
(η ∼ 90%) were realized simultaneously, which profited
from the reduction of the average grain size and the enhancement of
the breakdown strength. Moreover, the ceramic also exhibited an ultrashort
discharge time (<65 ns), great discharge current density (789.8
A/cm2), and large power density (79 MW/cm3).
The obtained results indicate the immense potential of TTB structure
relaxor ferroelectric ceramics for energy storage applications.
