Ultrahigh Energy Storage Density and Efficiency in Orthorhombic PLZST Antiferroelectric Ceramics via Composition Regulation

PbZrO3-based antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramic materials have emerged as potential candidates for the next generation of high-energy multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) because of their distinctive characteristics of double hysteresis loops. The energy storage efficiency of orthorhombic AFE ceramics with ultrahigh storage density is relatively low, which hinders their practical application. In this study, the low efficiency limit of PLZST-based orthorhombic ceramics was overcome by precisely adjusting the Sn4+ content in the (Pb0.95Ca0.02La0.02)(Zr0.99-xSnxTi0.01)O3 AFE ceramics. On one hand, the addition of Sn4+ disrupts the original long-range dipole and improves the rapid response of polarization reversal under the applied voltage. As a result, the difference in electric hysteresis under an electric field is reduced, leading to a significant improvement in energy storage efficiency. On the other hand, increasing the Sn4+ content suppresses the formation of oxygen vacancies, inhibiting grain growth and strengthening grain bonding. This results in ceramics with a high breakdown field strength. Ultimately, the resulting PLCZST ceramics reveal an expressively improved recoverable energy density of 10.2 J cm-3 together with a high energy efficiency of 91.4% under a high applied electric field of 560 kV cm-1. The present study demonstrates the tunability of performance in orthorhombic PLZST AFE ceramics, thereby introducing a ceramic material with exceptional energy storage capabilities for MLCC applications.
