BS0.5BNT-based relaxor ferroelectric ceramic/glass–ceramic composites for energy storage

Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2023
Relaxor ferroelectric ceramics have very high dielectric constant (εr) but relatively low electrical breakdown strength (Eb), while glass–ceramics exhibit higher Eb due to the more uniformly dispersed amorphous phases and submicrocrystals/nanocrystals ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Polymorphic Superparaelectric Engineering Boosting Energy Storage Capacity in BaTiO3‐Based Ceramics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, Ca2+ incorporation promotes the coexistence of CaTiO3‐/BaTiO3‐derived paraferroelectric states, stabilizing cubic‐orthorhombic‐tetragonal polymorphic superparaelectric phases. This minimizes polarization energy barriers, facilitating full polarization saturation without compromising efficiency.
