Abstract
With the continuous advancement of the application of ceramic capacitors, excellent energy storage performance under low electric fields is extremely important for ceramic capacitors and the demand for high-temperature stable ceramic capacitors is also urgent. In this work, a perovskite oxide, (Ba 0.12 Sr 0.28 K 0.3– x Bi 0.3 Na x )TiO 3 (where x = 0.125, 0.15, 0.175, 0.2), is designed and prepared using a high-entropy strategy. This approach addresses the poor energy storage and high-temperature stability of dielectric ceramics by increasing the configurational entropy (Δ S config ). The x = 0.15 sample has the highest Δ S config and gains outstanding energy storage density ( W rec ) of 2.07 J/cm 3 and energy storage efficiency (η) of 84.5% at the low electric field of 210 kV/cm. The variation of W rec and η at 40–140 °C is less than 4.9% and 2.0%, respectively. Furthermore, these high-entropy ceramics also demonstrate excellent dielectric temperature stability (Δε r /ε 150 °C ≤ ±15%, 42–317 °C). The results show that the high-entropy strategy is an effective way to achieve the excellent properties of dielectric ceramics.
