Strategic Design and Analysis of Energy Storage and ME Applications of Low Temperature Hybrid Microwave Sintered Electroceramic Composites

The magnetoelectric particulate (0-3) composites(x) (PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3)-(1- x) (Y3Fe5O12) (where, x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) are synthesized bythe solid-state hybrid microwave sintering technique. Multiferroicbulk ceramic capacitors have attracted immense interest in energystorage devices for pulsed power systems because of their superiortemperature resistance and environment-friendliness. Even though significantattempts have been made to create massive magneto electric (ME) bulkceramics for various applications, it still needs to be practicalor scientifically recommended for investigating novel material systemswith multiple applications. In this work, coexistence of optimizedcomposition of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic continents is proposedto achieve multiple applications like energy storage and energy conversion(magnetoelectric). Ceramics made of PZT and YIG are chosen to demonstratemultiple applications that are both possible and practical. Encouragingly,a moderate energy storage efficiency of (33%) and good ME of (1.9mv) are achieved in PZT(0.75)-YIG(0.25) andPZT(0.5)-YIG(0.5) bulk ceramics. Most importantly,the present work provides essential information for designing a seriesof ME compositions for next-generation energy storage and magnetoelectricapplications.
