ABSTRACT

(1-x) BT-xBiNbO4 (BT-BN, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) bulk ceramics were fabricated by conventional solid state method. XRD analysis suggests formation of perovskite structure. With increasing of BN (x ≥ 0.1), a ceramic material, the coexistence of a small quantity of secondary phase particles and perovskite phase, was obtained. Through analyzing the characteristics of the dielectric spectrum and P-E hysteresis loops, a very stable energy storage density in wide frequency band and temperature ranges was found in BT-BN bulk ceramics. With the addition of BN, BT's ferroelectric properties are suppressed, hysteresis loops show slim P-E hysteresis loops, which meet relaxor ferroelectrics features. Ceramics show improved energy storage density and energy storage efficiency. The recoverable energy storage of the modified ceramics is 0.31 J/cm3, which is 3.8 times higher than pure BT ceramics, and the efficiency is 93.97%, the withstand voltage can reach 11.72 kV/mm in sample(x = 0.2) within the measurement scope. It may have practical significance for frequency-stable energy storage applications.
