  • 随着脉冲功率器件向轻量化、微型化与集成化方向快速发展,对兼具高功率密度与高能量密度的介电玻璃陶瓷材料提出了迫切需求。本研究通过高温熔融与可控晶化工艺,成功制备了系列Tb3+掺杂浓度的BaO-SrO-Nb2O5玻璃陶瓷,并系统探究其对材料微观结构、晶相演变及介电储能性能的影响机制。结果表明,Tb3+引入并未明显改变基体的主晶相组成,但可有效促进结晶过程,诱导钨青铜结构Ba0.5Sr0.5Nb2O6相的选择性析出,进而显著提高材料的相对介电常数。同时,掺杂样品表现出优异的温度稳定性与较低的介电损耗。此外,Tb3+的引入有助于优化微观结构与晶粒尺寸,降低界面活化能,进而增强材料的击穿场强。当Tb3+掺杂量为3 mol%时,玻璃陶瓷的介电常数达到106.1,击穿场强提升至1364 kV/cm,最大储能密度达9.87 J/cm3,较未掺杂样品提高约2.29倍。该研究为高性能玻璃陶瓷储能介质的设计与开发提供了有效的实验依据。

    Dielectric capacitors are increasingly utilized in applications such as electric vehicles, 5G communication infrastructure, and AC-DC conversion systems in smart grids, owing to their rapid charge-discharge response, excellent power density, and minimal energy loss. Despite these advantages, their energy storage capacity remains relatively limited compared to electrochemical energy storage devices like supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. Glass-ceramics, which consist of an amorphous glass matrix and in-situ crystallized ceramic phases, offer a promising solution for enhancing dielectric performance. Through high-temperature melting combined with a controlled crystallization process, the uniform dispersion of ceramic phases within the glass matrix can be achieved. These materials typically exhibit several advantageous properties, including low porosity, uniform grain size, and high density, all of which help suppress electric field concentration effects, thereby significantly improving their breakdown resistance. Furthermore, precise control over the crystallization process allows for the modulation of ceramic phase proportions, optimizing dielectric properties and reducing dielectric losses. As pulsed power devices continue to evolve towards greater miniaturization, integration, and lightweight designs, there is a growing need for dielectric glass-ceramics that simultaneously offer high power density and high energy density. In this study, a series of Tb3+-doped BaO-SrO-Nb2O5-based glass-ceramics with varying Tb3+ molar fractions were synthesized using a high-temperature melting method, coupled with a controlled crystallization process. The influence of Tb3+ doping on the crystallization behavior and grain size of the glass-ceramics was thoroughly examined. This study also systematically investigates how the concentration of Tb3+ affects the composition, microstructure, dielectric properties, breakdown strength, and energy storage performance of the BaO-Na2O-Nb2O5 glass-ceramic system. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses indicated that the incorporation of Tb3+ ions did not significantly alter the dominant crystal phase, which remained the tungsten bronze-type Ba₀.5Sr₀.5Nb2O₆ phase. However, appropriate Tb3+ doping significantly enhanced the crystallinity of the glass matrix and increased the relative abundance of the Ba₀.5Sr₀.5Nb2O₆ phase. Concurrently, the doping process effectively inhibited grain growth in the glass-ceramics, leading to improved microstructural uniformity. Dielectric and breakdown strength tests revealed that, as the concentration of Tb3+ increased, both the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of the BaO-SrO-Nb2O5 glass-ceramics initially rose and then decreased. At a Tb3+ doping concentration of 3 mol%, the dielectric constant reached 106.1, while the breakdown strength peaked at 1364 kV/cm. Consequently, the maximum energy storage density achieved was 9.87 J/cm3, approximately 2.29 times that of the undoped sample (4.30 J/cm3). The observed performance enhancement can be attributed to two synergistic effects. First, low concentrations of Tb3+ serve as nucleation promoters, optimizing the crystallization process and improving the uniformity of the microstructure. Second, Tb3+ doping reduces the activation energy for interface charge, suppresses space charge accumulation, and mitigates local electric field distortions, thus significantly improving the breakdown strength. These findings provide valuable experimental insights for the design and development of high-performance glass-ceramic materials for energy storage applications.
