“…Generally, AFEs can exhibit more superior energy-storage properties than FEs because of their near-zero remnant polarization, and than LDs and RFEs due to their larger saturation polarization [5,6]. Thus, in recent years, energy-storage properties of AFE materials, especially (Pb,La)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 AFE systems on account of their wide AFE phase region, have been widely studied and reported [ [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]].…”

“…Thus, AFEs which exhibit high EA, Eb, Pmax and slim double P-E hysteresis loops are best choice for developing and preparing dielectric capacitors possessing superior energy-storage properties. In (Pb,La)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 AFE materials, the contents of Zr, Ti, Sn, and La all have obvious effects on EA, Pmax, Eb, and ΔE [9,11,13,14]. For example, upon continuously increasing the La3+ content, the phase structure of (Pb,La)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 ceramics at room temperature transforms from AFE state to relaxor AFE state with slimmer hysteresis loops, larger EA, and higher Eb [15,16].…”

Antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics based on Pb(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 (PZST) have shown great potential for applications in pulsed power capacitors because of their fast charge-discharge rates (on the order of nanoseconds). However, to date, it has been proven very difficult to simultaneously obtain large recoverable energy densities Wre and high energy efficiencies η in one type of ceramic, which limits the range of applications of these materials. Addressing this problem requires the development of ceramic materials that simultaneously offer a large ferroelectricantiferroelectric (FE-AFE) phase-switching electric field EA, high electric breakdown strength Eb, and narrow polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loops. In this work, via doping of La 3+ into (Pb1-1.5xLax)(Zr0.5Sn0.43Ti0.07)O3 AFE ceramics, large EA and Eb due to respectively enhanced AFE phase stability and reduced electric conductivity, and slimmer hysteresis loops resulting from the appearance of the relaxor AFE state, are successfully obtained, and thus leading to great improvement of the Wre and η. The most superior energy storage properties are obtained in the 3 mol% La 3+ -doped (Pb1-1.5xLax)(Zr0.5Sn0.43Ti0.07)O3 AFE ceramic, which simultaneously exhibits at room temperature a large Wre of 4.2 J/cm 3 and a high η of 78%, being respectively 2.9 and 1.56 times those of (Pb1-1.5xLax)(Zr0.5Sn0.43Ti0.07)O3 AFE ceramics with x = 0 (Wre = 1.45 J/cm 3 , η = 50%) and also being superior to many previously published results.Besides, both Wre and η change very little in the temperature range of 25-125 °C. The large Wre, high η, and their good temperature stability make the Pb0.955La0.03(Zr0.5Sn0.43Ti0.07)O3 AFE ceramic attractive for preparing high pulsed power capacitors useable in various conditions.

“…Flowchart of the sol‐gel process for obtaining the PLZST ceramics is illustrated in Figure . For comparison, PLZST ceramics were also prepared by the traditional solid‐state reaction method, following procedures reported in our previous work . Silver pastes (SA‐5021; Wuhan Youle Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd, Wuhan, Hubei, China) were screen‐printed onto both sides of the polished ceramics with a screen mesh of 250 lines per inch, and then fired at 550°C for 10 minutes to form electrodes for the electrical measurements.…”

“…However, the high‐calcination temperature leads not only to high‐energy consumption, but also to the volatilization of Pb, which often generates an impurity phase. In addition, the segregation of Sn can easily occur when the Sn content in PbLa(ZrSnTi)O 3 is high . Compared with the solid‐state technique, the liquid‐state synthesis technique offers advantages of controlled chemical composition, high chemical homogeneity, high purity, high activity, low synthesis temperature, and small resulting powder particles .…”

Lead lanthanum zirconate stannate titanate (PbLa(ZrSnTi)O3) antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics are widely used in dielectric capacitors due to their superior energy‐storage capacity. Generally, these ceramics can be synthesized by solid‐state reaction and sol‐gel methods. Ceramics prepared using the sol‐gel method have a purer phase than those prepared using the solid‐state reaction method because the sol‐gel method can avoid the segregation of Sn. However, because the commonly used raw material tin acetate is very expensive, the preparation of PbLa(ZrSnTi)O3 AFE ceramics via the sol‐gel method is not cost‐effective, which prevents the use of sol‐gel method for manufacturing PbLa(ZrSnTi)O3 in a large scale. In this work, low‐cost dibutyltin oxide instead of expensive tin acetate is used to synthesize Pb0.97La0.02(Zr0.50Sn0.45Ti0.05)O3 (PLZST) nanopowders, and single‐phase powders with a perovskite structure and average grain size of 200 nm are obtained at a calcination temperature of 580°C. In addition, dense PLZST AFE ceramics with a pure perovskite structure are obtained by sintering the PLZST nanopowders at temperatures as low as 1100°C. The sintered PLZST ceramics exhibit a room‐temperature recoverable energy‐storage density as high as 1.93 J/cm3 with an efficiency of 75%, which varies only slightly in the temperature range of 20‐120°C. The high energy‐storage density (>1.9 J/cm3) over a wide temperature range illustrates that the sol‐gel‐derived PLZST ceramics with low‐cost dibutyltin oxide are quite promising for manufacturing pulse power capacitors.

The phase transition and dielectric properties of Pb0.988(Hf0.945SnxTi0.03‐xNb0.025)O3 ceramics (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03, correspondingly abbreviated as H1, H2, H3, and H4) at the morphotropic phase boundary were systematically investigated. X‐ray diffraction results and P‐E hysteresis loops show that the dominate orthorhombic antiferroelectric phase and a small amount of the tetragonal FE phase coexist in Pb0.988(Hf0.945SnxTi0.03‐xNb0.025)O3 ceramics. As the Sn content increases, the antiferroelectricity is significantly enhanced, accompanied with an increased Curie temperature and sharply reduced peak dielectric constant. H1 and H2 experience an irreversible field‐induced AFE‐FE phase transition at the ambient temperature, and the transition from a metastable FE phase to the original AFE phase is observed in H2 when heated to 60°C. H3 and H4 experience an invertible AFE‐FE phase transition, along with an enhanced forward phase switching field EF. Moreover a decreased backward phase switching field EA for H4 is detected as the electric field increases due to the AFE/FE coexistence. These results reveal the unique phase transition characteristics of AFE materials near the phase boundary, which is helpful for better understanding of AFE/FE materials.
