Can lead-free ceramics be used for energy storage?

Only a few review articles address the systematic investigation and development of various reported lead-free ceramics used for energy storage. Discussing and analyzing the most recent progress in developing of different lead-free ceramics holds great significance in advancing pulsed power systems with excellent performance. Fig. 3.

What is the energy storage density of lead-free ceramics?

However, the recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) and energy storage efficiency (η) of most lead-free ceramics are less than 4 J cm −3 and 80%, respectively, due to their low electric breakdown strength (Eb), large remnant polarization (Pr) and/or small maximum polarization (Pmax).

How to optimize energy storage performance of nn-based lead-free ceramics?

The ceramics exhibit well-defined double P - E loops and reduced Pr. M. Zhang et al. proposed a strategy by adjusting the local structure and defect chemistry with SrSnO 3 and MnO 2 to optimize the energy storage performance of NN-based lead-free ceramics from anti-ferroelectric to relaxor states, as shown in Fig. 26 (e).

How can BT-based lead-free ceramics improve energy storage performance?

To better optimize the energy storage performance of BT-based lead-free ceramics, B. Liu et al. coated BT with Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 using the chemical coating method and reduced the average grain size below 200 nm. This led to improved breakdown strength (190 kV cm −1) and enhanced energy storage density (0.725 J cm −3). Q.

Can lead-free ceramics improve energy storage properties of pulsed power capacitors?

Along with the rapid development of electrostatic capacitors requiring dielectric materials to exhibit environmental-friendly and outstanding performance, numerous efforts have been made to enhance the energy storage properties of lead-free ceramics for pulsed power capacitor applications in recent reports , , , .

Are lead-free anti-ferroelectric ceramics suitable for energy storage applications?

At present, the development of lead-free anti-ferroelectric ceramics for energy storage applications is focused on the AgNbO 3 (AN) and NaNbO 3 (NN) systems. The energy storage properties of AN and NN-based lead-free ceramics in representative previous reports are summarized in Table 6. Table 6.
