“…Interestingly, at 190 kV/cm, a marked comprehensive performance with a high η value (75%) and a high W rec (2.4 J/cm 3 ) is obtained for SMZTN-0.08 lead-free ceramics. To further investigate the performance of SMZTN-modified BT-BF ceramics, lead-free bulk ceramics that have already been published (BT-BF-based, ,,− ,,,− BaTiO 3 -based, ,,,,, (K 0.5 Na 0.5 )NbO 3 -based, ,− Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 -based ,− ) were compared in terms of their W rec and η below 200 kV/cm and under the critical electric field. The majority of lead-free ceramics, as illustrated in Figures f and S5, have low W rec , and it is challenging to obtain a combination of high η and low W rec .…”
