Abstract

Lead-free ceramic capacitors are extensively utilized in pulsed power systems for their environmentally friendly characteristics, high power density, and fast charging/discharging rate. However, it remains highly challenging to achieve concurrent improvements in both recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) and efficiency (η). In this study, Ta2O5 with a wide bandgap (∼4 eV) was chosen in complex with Mg2+ ions to form Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 as the second phase of a BNT-based solid solution. Combined with phase modulation, a compositional disorder of equipotential sites is formed in chalcogenide crystals, which in turn induces charge disorder generating localized random fields. We have designed and prepared a set of binary (1-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBa(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BNT-xBMT) ceramics using a conventional solid-phase method. An ultra-high breakdown field strength (Eb) value (245 kV/cm) was attained in 0.80BNT-0.20BMT ceramic, resulting in desirable values of Wrec (3.99 J/cm3) and η (92.0 %). These results offer a new strategy for designing high entropy ceramic materials of high performance in the future.
