Ultrahigh energy storage density and efficiency in AgNbO3-based ceramics by percolating interaction between antipolar regions and defect pairs
2026
Overview
A critical challenge for the application of lead-free antiferroelectrics in energy storage systems is their poor thermal stability and low efficiency when the superior energy storage density is attained, primarily due to the inherent first-order nature and narrow temperature window of antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric transitions. Here, we elucidate a unique percolating interaction between antipolar regions in antiferroelectrics and engineered defect pairs using density functional theory and phase field calculations. Strategic distribution of the strongly coupled Li-Ta pairs in AgNbO
