"High energy storage density and efficiency in AgNbO3 based relaxor ant" by Li Ma, Zhiyi Che et al.
Silver niobate based lead-free antiferroelectric ceramics have demonstrated great advantages, but the high consumption of noble metal silver may restrict their commercial application. In this work, Na+ and Ta5+ co-modified (Ag1-xNax)(Nb1-yTay)O3 (100xNa-100yTa) ceramics were investigated, aiming to reduce the silver consumption and achieve good energy storage properties. The Na+ tended to increase M2-M3 phase transition temperature (TM2-M3), while Ta5+ was more likely to reduce TM2-M3. A new current peak (ER) was observed for the first time in all current-electric field curves. As expected, a ...
