The large maximum polarization Pmax and low remnant polarization Pr in relaxor ferroelectrics are key features for the energy storage density (W) and energy-storage efficiency (η) in materials selection. In this study, the ergodic relaxor (ER) state with high energy storage performance associated with low Pr and large Pmax, induced by Sr0.85Bi0.1TiO3(SBT) addition in (1 − x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xSr0.85Bi0.1TiO3 (BNT-SBTx with x = 0.25–0.45, Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 abbreviated as BNT) ceramics has been observed. In particular, significantly increased energy storage density (W = 1.5 J/cm3) and energy-storage efficiency (η = 73%) are obtained for BNT-SBT ergodic relaxor ceramics. These results suggest a new means of designing lead-free energy-storage materials.
