Title:Improved energy storage and electrocaloric properties of lead-free Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 ceramic
View PDFAbstract:Lead-free ba0.85ca0.15zr0.1ti0.9o3 (bczt) ceramic powders were synthesized using the sol-gel method. to achieve high-energy storage and large electrocaloric effect in bulk ceramics the ceramics thickness was reduced. dielectric, ferroelectric, energy storage, and electrocaloric properties were investigated for bczt ceramic with 400 {\mu}m. here, pure crystalline structure and homogenous microstructure were identified by xrd analysis and sem measurements, respectively. the dielectric measurements revealed a maximum dielectric constant associated with ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition. the maximum of {\epsilon} was 7841 around 352 k. furthermore, the bczt ceramic showed improved energy storage and electrocaloric properties. a high recoverable energy density wrec of 0.24 j/cm3 and a total energy density wtotal of 0.27 j/cm3 with an efficiency coefficient of ~ 88% at 423 k under an electric field of 55 kv/cm was obtained. besides, the maximum value of {\delta}t = 2.32 k, the electrocaloric responsivity {\zeta} = 0.42 k mm/kv, the refrigeration capacity rc= 4.59 j/kg and the coefficient of performance cop = 12.38 were achieved around 384 k under 55 kv/cm. the total energy density wtotal and the temperature change {\delta}t were also calculated by exploiting the landau-ginzburg-devonshire (lgd) theory. the theoretical results matched the experimental findings. these results suggest that the synthesized bczt ceramic with the reduced thickness could be a promising candidate for energy storage and electrocaloric applications.
