Chakrabarti, A., Menon, S., Tarafder, A., Molla, A.R. (2022). Glass–ceramics: A Potential Material for Energy Storage and Photonic Applications.

Why do we need glass-ceramic materials for energy storage systems?

The demand for next-generation energy storage systems in modern miniaturized electronic components will require glass–ceramic materials that can provide high power, higher energy density, ultrafast discharge speeds, high-temperature stability, stable frequency, and environmental friendliness.

What is the energy storage density of glass–ceramics with 1 mol% GD 2 O 3?

Glass–ceramics with 1 mol% Gd 2 O 3 exhibited a high energy storage density of 12.14 J/cm 3, a BDS of 1818 kV/cm with a discharge efficiency of 80%, and a discharge time of 25 ns. The BNN glass–ceramics were synthesized by combining conventional and microwave heating.

What affects the energy storage properties of ferroelectric glass–ceramic?

The energy storage properties of a ferroelectric glass–ceramic are significantly affected by the size, grain morphology, and the number of defects of the ferroelectric ceramic phase present in the glass matrix. A crystal phase with large grains can lead to cracks, pores, and other defects in the microstructure which will degrade the DBS.

What is the energy storage performance of Yb2O3 based glass–ceramics?

The Yb 2 O 3 doped BNN-based sample heat-treated at 950 °C for 3 h exhibited the highest BDS of 2046.49 kV/cm, with a low dissipation factor of 0.008 and U value of 22.48 J/cm 3 . Recently, Du et al. reported optimized energy storage performance for potassium sodium niobate (KNN) based glass–ceramics.

Why is glass important?

Glass is a fascinating material that has drawn the curiosity of mankind since the Stone/Bronze Ages (3300 BC) due to astounding properties such as its transparency, luster, and chemical durability. Applications from glassware to window panes, insulators, and many others have made it an essential part of everyday life.
