Remarkable capacitive performance in novel tungsten bronze ceramics
Abstract
In this study, novel lead-free Sr1.75Ca0.25NaNb5O15 tungsten bronze ceramics were designed for potential energy storage applications. A remarkable energy storage density (∼3.23 J cm−3) along with a high energy storage efficiency (∼88.2%) was obtained simultaneously at an applied electric field of 290 kV cm−1. Moreover, the ceramic also showed exceptional discharging performance including a fast discharge rate (τ0.9 < 70 ns), an ultrahigh discharge current density (1104 A cm−2) and a high power density (82.8 MW cm−3). The achieved capacitive performance in this work indicates the great potential of the designed novel tungsten bronze ceramic for energy storage applications.
