High‐Entropy Superparaelectrics With both Ultrahigh Energy Storage Performance and Broad‐High Temperature Stability
Achieving high recoverable energy density (W<sub>rec</sub>) and energy storage efficiency (η) concurrently with robust temperature stability remains a significant challenge for dielectric energy storage ceramics. Here, a high-entropy-superparaelectric (HE-SPE) synergistic strategy is proposed based on La(Mg<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>0.5</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> (LMZ) modified (Bi<sub>0.2</sub>Na<sub>0.2</sub>Ba<sub>0.2</sub>Sr<sub>0.2</sub>Ca<sub>0.2</sub>)TiO<sub>3</sub> (BNBSCT) system. By promoting cationic disorder, the high-entropy (HE) effect induces lattice strain and random octahedral tilting that synergistically enhance resistivity and potential uniformity for a high breakdown field (E<sub>b</sub>). Owing to broadening the superparaelectric (SPE) region to room temperature, the system enables quick switching of polar nanoclusters through lowered energy barriers, thus achieving a high dynamic polarization response and near-zero remnant polarization (P<sub>r</sub>). Consequently, the (1 - x)BNBSCT-xLMZ ceramics with x = 0.15 acquire an outstanding W<sub>rec</sub> of 13.51 J cm<sup>-3</sup> and a high η of 94.6% under a high E<sub>b</sub> of 750 kV cm<sup>-1</sup>. Furthermore, the wide temperature window of polar nanocluster coexistence enables the ceramic to achieve excellent comprehensive energy storage performance across a wide temperature range (25-200°C). This work provides new route to develop dielectric materials with high energy storage performance and excellent temperature stability.
