Excellent Energy-Storage Performance in Lead-Free Capacitors with Highly Dynamic Polarization Heterogeneous Nanoregions.

Lead-free dielectric ceramics with excellent energy-storage performance are crucial to the development of the next-generation advanced pulse power capacitors. However, low energy-storage density limits the evolution of capacitors toward lightweight, miniaturization, and integration. Here, an effective strategy of constructing highly dynamic polarization heterogeneous nanoregions is proposed in lead-free relaxors to realize an ultrahigh energy-storage density of ≈8.

Fabrication of optimal oxygen vacancy amount in P/Ag/AgO/AgPO/TiO through a green photoreduction process for sustainable H evolution under solar light.

Defects engineering on photocatalysts such as oxygen vacancies (OVs) is an effective approach for improving photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution efficiency. In this study, OVs modified P/Ag/AgO/AgPO/TiO (PAgT) composite was successfully fabricated via a photoreduction process by controlling the ratio of PAgT to ethanol (16, 12, 8, 6 and 4 g·L) under simulated solar light irradiation for the first time. Characterization methods confirmed the presence of OVs in the modified catalysts.
