Abstract
Designing superb dielectric capacitors is valuable but challenging since achieving simultaneously large energy‐storage (ES) density and high efficiency is difficult. Herein, the synergistic effect of grain refining, bandgap widening, and domain engineering is proposed to boost comprehensive ES properties by incorporating CaTiO3 into 0.92NaNbO3‐0.08BiNi0.67Ta0.33O3 matrix (as abbreviated NN‐BNT‐xCT). Apart from grain refining and bandgap widening, multiple local distortions embedded in labyrinthine submicro‐domains, as indicated by diffraction‐freckle splitting and ½‐type superlattices, produce slush‐like polar clusters for the NN‐BNT‐0.2CT ceramic, which should be ascribed to the coexisting P4bm, P21ma, and Pnma2 phases. Consequently, a high recoverable ES density Wrec of ≈ 7.1 J cm−3 and a high efficiency η of ≈ 90% at 646 kV cm−1 is achieved for the NN‐BNT‐0.2CT ceramic. Such hierarchically polar structure is favorable to superb comprehensive ES properties, which provide a strategy for developing high‐performance dielectric capacitors.Keywords
