Crystalline structure and dielectric relaxor behavior of MnO2-modified 0.8BaTiO3-0.2BiScO3 ceramics for energy storage application
Based on the synergistic roles of defect dipoles and MnO 2 sintering aid, 0.8BaTiO 3 -0.2BiScO 3 (BTBS 0.2 ) ceramics with and without 0.3 wt% MnO 2 were prepared by a solid-phase reaction route. The impacts of MnO 2 dopant and sintering conditions on the crystalline structure, micro-morphology, dielectric, and energy storage properties were investigated in detail. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman results demonstrate the coexistence of tetragonal (T) and pseudo-cubic (pC) phases. The increased pC phase content caused by MnO 2 modification is beneficial for the improvement of the relaxation degree. The O 1s fine spectra of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms a remarkable increase in the concentration of oxygen vacancy due to the acceptor Mn dopant, indicating the valence changes of Mn ions from Mn 4+ to Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ . The reduced dielectric loss is induced by the improved density and the pinning effect from the defect dipoles, thereby yielding a higher E b . An optimal energy density of W rec = 0.70 J/cm 3 with a high energy efficiency of η = 95.8 % at 140 kV/cm was realized in the BTBS 0.2 +Mn ceramic composition sintered at 1300 °C. Moreover, the ceramic also exhibits good temperature stability (30–120 °C). Therefore, the BTBS 0.2 +Mn ceramics have a promising application prospect in the energy storage field.
