To demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention, the following experiments were performed:
1. microstructure and electrical properties of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics with different BTNW addition amounts
Fig. 2 is an XRD chart and an SEM chart of the BTNW and BTNW-ZBSO composite powder prepared in example 1. In FIG. 2a, BaTiO can be clearly observed3Characteristic peaks of the phases (PDF #05-0626), no other miscellaneous phases were found; typical BaTiO can be observed in FIG. 2c3Diffraction peaks of the phases and diffraction packets distributed in the 10-40 ° amorphous state can be observed. The microstructure characteristics of the BTNW and BTNW-ZBSO composite powder are presented by fig. 2b and fig. 2 d. The BTNW has a diameter of about 10-50nm and a length of about 10-15 μm, and the BTNW-ZBSO powder after compounding has a shorter length of about 3-5 μm (FIG. 2 d). This is because the morphology of the BTNW changes due to the ball milling of the composite powder during the preparation process.
XRD patterns of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics with different BTNW addition amounts for examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in FIG. 3. As is evident from FIG. 3, the pure glass phase ZBSO is a diffraction package distributed at 10-40 deg., since ZBSO is amorphous. When BTNW was added, it was clearly observed that not only the diffraction packets distributed in the 10-40 ° amorphous state in fig. 3, but also the typical BaTiO appeared3The diffraction peaks of the phases (PDF #05-0626) showed that the phase structure of BTNW did not change in the BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramic. ByIt can also be seen in FIG. 3 that as the amount of BTNW added was gradually increased, the relative intensity of the glass background in the XRD pattern of the BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramic was gradually decreased, while the intensity of the diffraction peak of the perovskite phase was increased, mainly due to the addition of BaTiO3The phases are gradually increased. Therefore, the BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramic structures of examples 1-3 are more suitable.
FIG. 4 is an SEM photograph of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics with different BTNW addition amounts. All samples showed a dense microstructure. The BTNW addition amounts were 0 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 40 wt.% and 50 wt.%, respectively, and the corresponding glass-ceramic densities were 4.97g/cm, respectively3、5.09g/cm3、5.27g/cm3、5.57g/cm3、5.43g/cm3And 5.33g/cm3. It can be seen that the density of the glass ceramic shows a tendency to increase first and then decrease, and the density reaches the maximum when the BTNW addition amount is 30 wt.%. As can be seen from fig. 4a, the pure ZBSO glass sample exhibited a dense amorphous state, and no other grains were found to be present. The appearance of linear or rod-like grains in the samples was clearly observed when BTNW was added. When the content of BTNW was increased from 10 wt.% to 30 wt.% (examples 1-3), the linear grains of the BTNW were clearly visible in the sample. When the BTNW content exceeds 30 wt.%, the linear grains gradually transform into rod-like grains. This process can be explained from two aspects: in one aspect, the glass-ceramic is sintered using a two-step sintering process, where the ZBSO glass forms a molten liquid at 1200 ℃ and increases the sample density, immediately after which the molten glass phase surrounds the BTNW. The sample with good density and controllable appearance is obtained in the liquid phase sintering process within the long time of keeping the temperature at 900 ℃; on the other hand, although the phase structure of BTNWs can be controlled during sintering, when the content of BTNWs exceeds 30 wt.%, linear grains are converted into rod-like grains. The content of the glass phase can control the growth of the ceramic grains during the liquid phase sintering process. The addition of the glass phase promotes mass transfer between particles according to a dissolution-precipitation mechanism. When the BTNW addition amount is small and the glass phase amount is too large, the viscosity of the glass increases during sintering, the mobility of atoms in the material decreases, and mass transfer between BTNWs is difficult, so that the BTNWs do not agglomerate during sintering and the BTNWs do not agglomerate during sinteringThere is not enough driving force to grow, so the length of the linear crystal grains is almost the same as that of the starting composite powder. As the amount of BTNW added continues to increase, however, the glassy phase content decreases and mass transfer occurs between adjacent BTNWs, so that BTNW grains grow by reacting with agglomeration or with adjacent linear grains, resulting in the formation of rod-like grains. Generally, the more glass phase is beneficial to mass transfer, and here, because the special sintering characteristics of the glass material make the BTNW content less and the holding time is limited to be unfavorable for the growth of the BTNW, the shape of the ceramic phase can be controlled. Thus, the use of the BTNW content of examples 1-3 enables control of the formation of linear glass-ceramic structures.
FIG. 5 shows a dielectric temperature spectrum (a) and a dielectric loss curve (b) of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics with different BTNW addition amounts; for comparison, the dielectric properties of pure ZBSO glass prepared by the two-step sintering method were also measured. As is apparent from the figure, the room temperature dielectric constant of the glass-ceramic increases significantly when BTNW is added to the glass, mainly due to the fact that the added BTNW has a higher dielectric constant than ZBSO glass. Meanwhile, as the BTNW addition amount gradually increases, the room temperature dielectric constant of the glass ceramic tends to increase first and then decrease. When the BTNW addition amount is 0 wt.%, the room temperature dielectric constant of the glass-ceramic is only 100. When the addition amount of BTNW was gradually increased to 30 wt.%, the room-temperature dielectric constant of the BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramic reached 842 at the maximum; however, when the BTNW content is further increased, the dielectric constant of the glass-ceramic starts to decrease again, which may be caused by the decrease of the content of the glass phase, mass transfer between adjacent BTNWs, and growth of BTNW grains by reaction with agglomeration or other adjacent linear grains, resulting in the formation of rod-like grains, so that the glass-ceramic grains at this time have poor uniformity and low density. Although the dielectric loss was higher for the samples with different BTNW contents than for the ZBSO glass, overall, the dielectric loss was less than 0.015 for all samples in the-60 to 130 ℃ test temperature range.
FIG. 6 is a P-E hysteresis curve diagram of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics with different BTNW addition amounts. For comparison, P-E hysteresis loops for ZBSO glass are also shown. The corresponding energy storage performance parameters are listed in table 1.As is clear from fig. 6, when the BTNW addition amount was 0 wt.%, the hysteresis loop of pure ZBSO glass exhibited a fine linearity, indicating that it behaves as a linear dielectric. However, relaxation phenomena of the hysteresis loop can be clearly observed with the addition of BTNW, and the relaxation phenomena become increasingly apparent with increasing BTNW addition. This phenomenon indicates that the addition of BTNW to the glass makes the glass-ceramic exhibit ferroelectricity. As can be seen from the data in table 1, the energy storage density of the glass-ceramic was significantly higher when BTNW was added to the glass than pure glass, mainly due to the fact that the added BTNW had a higher polarization than ZBSO glass. Meanwhile, as the addition amount of BTNW gradually increases, the discharge energy density of the glass ceramic tends to increase first and then decrease. This is mainly because, as the addition amount of BTNWs was gradually increased from 0 wt.% to 30 wt.%, the amount of BTNWs having higher saturation polarization was gradually increased, resulting in the saturation polarization of the glass-ceramic being from 1.21 μ C/cm2Gradually increased to 7.20 mu C/cm2. However, when the BTNW addition amount is further increased to 40 wt.%, saturation polarization is decreased because mass transfer between adjacent BTNWs occurs due to the decrease in the content of the glass phase, and thus BTNW grains in the glass ceramic grow by reacting with aggregation or other adjacent linear grains, resulting in the formation of rod-like grains, thereby deteriorating saturation polarization. When the addition amount of BTNW was 30% (example 1), the sample obtained the maximum discharge energy density of 1.19J/cm under the maximum polarization field of 45.91kV/mm35 times that of pure ZBSO glass.

2. BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramic microstructure and electrical properties at different sintering temperatures
XRD patterns of BTNW-ZBSO glass ceramics of different sintering temperatures for examples 1, 4-5 and comparative example 4 are shown in FIG. 7. From the figure, the typical BaTiO of all samples can be observed3The structure and the bulk distribution of the amorphous glass phase at 10-40 deg. indicate that the phase structure of BTNW does not change in BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramics. As can be seen from the figure, the relative intensity of the glass background in the XRD pattern gradually increases with the gradual increase of the sintering temperature, while BaTiO3The diffraction peaks of the phases decreased in intensity because part of the BTNW gradually dissolved in the ZBSO glass phase with increasing temperature. Therefore, the sintering temperature is most preferably 1200 ℃ as in example 1.
FIG. 8 is SEM images of BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramics of examples 1, 4-5 and comparative example 4 at different sintering temperatures. As can be seen from the figure, the density of the sample shows a tendency to increase first and then decrease. As can be seen from fig. 8a, when the sintering temperature is 1100 ℃ (comparative example 4), the surface of the glass ceramic has many pores, and BTNW grains therein are in the shape of short rods, the sintering temperature is not high enough to disperse all BTNW grains in the molten glass phase and form a dense glass ceramic, thereby reducing the density of the glass ceramic, so comparative example 4 is less effective. When the sintering temperature reached 1200 ℃ (example 1), the sintering temperature at high temperature was high enough to bring the ZBSO glass into a molten state, reach the critical density of the glass-ceramic, and break the connected pore network structure. The molten glass phase immediately surrounds the BTNW and then the temperature is maintained at a low 900 c for a long time, the glass phase can fill the pores during the liquid phase sintering process, thereby obtaining a dense, topographically controlled sample. However, when the sintering temperature was further increased to 1250 ℃ (example 5), the linear grains in the sample gradually decreased, and a large number of rod-like grains appeared, and if the requirements for the linear grains were not strict, the method of example 5 could also be used to prepare the sample. This phenomenon occurs because, on the one hand, the grain boundary migration mechanism dominates the mass transfer mechanism through the grain boundary according to the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, and mass transfer occurs between adjacent BTNWs, so that BTNW grains grow up by reacting with aggregation or with adjacent linear grains, resulting in the formation of rod-like grains. On the other hand, part of the BTNW dissolved in the ZBSO glass phase, causing impurities in the glass phase to also deposit on the BTNW. Therefore, the sintering temperature is preferably 1200 ℃.
FIG. 9 shows the dielectric temperature spectra and dielectric loss curves of BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramics at different sintering temperatures for examples 1, 4-5 and comparative example 4. The dielectric constants of all samples varied relatively flat with increasing test temperature, showing good temperature stability. With the gradual increase of the sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the sample is increased and then decreased. The dielectric constant at room temperature is 842 at most at 1200 deg.C (example 1). When the sintering temperature is 1100 ℃ (comparative example 4), it can be seen from fig. 8a that the sample is poorly dense, and some pores exist on the surface of the sample, resulting in a decrease in dielectric constant. The dielectric constant gradually increases with the increase of the density of the sample; however, when the sintering temperature was increased to 1250 ℃ (example 5), the dielectric constant was reduced. This is because part of the BTNW was dissolved in the ZBSO glass phase, resulting in a smaller amount of BTNW in the sample. With the gradual increase of the sintering temperature, the dielectric loss of the samples is firstly reduced and then increased, and the dielectric loss of all the samples is less than 0.015. Therefore, the sintering temperature is preferably 1200 ℃.
FIG. 10 is a P-E hysteresis curve plot of BTNW-ZBSO glass-ceramics for different sintering temperatures for examples 1, 4-5 and comparative example 4, with the corresponding energy storage performance parameters listed in Table 2. As is clear from fig. 10, the hysteresis loops of all the samples are slimmer, and a more pronounced relaxation phenomenon can be observed. As can be seen from the data in the table, as the sintering temperature is increased from 1100 ℃ to 1250 ℃, the compressive strength of the glass-ceramic increases and then decreases. The change rule of the discharge energy density of the sample and the change of the compressive strength of the sample show the same trend. When the sintering temperature was 1100 ℃ (comparative example 4), the surface of the glass ceramic had many pores, which were not enough to allow all BTNW grains to be dispersed in the molten glass phase, so pores were generated, decreasing the density of the glass ceramic, and making the compressive strength of the ceramic sample low, only 27.66 kV/mm. When the sintering temperature was raised to 1150-1250 c, especially to 1200 c (example 1), the densification of the ceramic sample reached a maximum and thus had a maximum compressive strength of 45.91 kV/mm. However, with further increase in sintering temperature, the BTNWs in the glass-ceramic appeared to deposit and agglomerate, which was largeMass transfer occurs between a certain amount of linear grains, which results in the formation of rod-like grains, and irregular grains cause the density of the glass sample to be poor, and thus the compressive strength tends to be reduced. When the sintering temperature of the glass ceramic is 1200 ℃, the discharge energy density of the glass ceramic reaches 1.19J/cm under the maximum polarization field of 45.91kV/mm3。
