Enhanced thermal energy conversion and dynamic hysteresis behavior of Sr-added Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 ferroelectric ceramics

This paper deals with a study of Ba0.85Ca0.15−xSrxTi0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCT-BZT-Sr) (x = 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) polycrystalline ceramics for thermal energy conversion applications using the Olsen cycle. A maximum energy conversion density of 108 kJ/m3 was observed in pristine BCT-BZT for cycle operating at 30...
