摘要
Antiferroelectrics(AFEs)possess great potential for high performance dielectric capacitors,due to their distinct double hysteresis loop with high maximum polarization and low remnant polarization.However,the well-known NaNbO_(3) lead-free antiferroelectric(AFE)ceramic usually exhibits square-like P–E loop related to the irreversible AFE P phase to ferroelectric(FE)Q phase transition,yielding low recoverable energy storage density(Wrec).Herein,significantly improved Wrec up to 3.3 J/cm^(3) with good energy storage efficiency(η)of 42.4% was achieved in Na_(0.7)Ag_(0.3)Nb_(0.7)Ta_(0.3)O_(3)(30Agsingle bond30Ta)ceramic with well-defined double P–E loop,by tailoring the A-site electronegativity with Ag+and B-site polarizability with Ta^(5+).The Transmission Electron Microscope,Piezoresponse Force Microscope and in-situ Raman spectra results verified a good reversibility between AFE P phase and high-field-induced FE Q phase.The improved stability of AFE P phase,being responsible for the double P–E loop and improved Wrec,was attributed to the decreased octahedral tilting angles and cation displacements.This mechanism was revealed by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Scanning Transmission Electron microscope.This work provides a good paradigm for achieving double P–E loop and high energy storage density in NaNbO_(3)-based ceramics.
