0.9Ba(Ti1−xMgx)O3−x-0.1NaNbO3 (BTNN-100xMg) solid solutions are investigated with a view to developing Bi, Pb, and rare earth free, high voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors. Mg doping on the B-site significantly reduced the electronic conductivity and resulted in ceramics that could withstand a pulsed unipolar field of >300 kV/cm (Emax) to give a recoverable energy density of 3.4 J/cm3 at 82.6% efficiency for x = 0.01. The high Emax is accompanied by a high dielectric permittivity (ε′ ∼ 1700 at room temperature) with temperature-stable dielectric permittivity of Δε/ε298K ≤ ±15% and loss tangent tan δ < 0.02 from 116 to 378 K, corresponding to an X6R designation in the Electronic Industry Alliance codes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
