Summary: Nb2O5 was introduced to enhance the dielectric temperature stability of BNBST-based lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics. The addition of Nb2O5 flattened the ε(r)-T curve and improved the dielectric temperature stability. BNBSTC + 2 wt%Nb2O5 ceramics exhibited a noticeable high recoverable energy storage density (1.44 J/cm(3)) with high-energy storage efficiency (84.1%) at a low electric field of 90 kV/cm, mainly due to a refined P-E loop induced by Nb2O5. This ceramic provides a new solution for designing pulsed power capacitors with high energy density and high temperature stability.

Summary: Garnet-based solid-state batteries have high energy density and safety potential. However, poor interface contact and Li dendrite growth hinder their practical application. A Prussian blue (PB) interlayer is proposed to improve the interface and charge transfer through conductivity modulation. This lithiated PB interlayer with a unique 3D open framework enhances lithiophilicity and uniform Li diffusion. It reduces the resistance at the Li/garnet interface and enables stable cycling without dendrite growth.
