The structure and energy of grain boundaries (GBs) are essential for predicting the properties of polycrystalline materials. In this work, we use high-throughput density functional theory
In general, the recoverable energy-storage density U e of a dielectric depends on its polarization (P) under the applied electric field E, U e = ∫ P r P m E d P, where P m and

In short, the structural correlation between the energy storage and mechanical properties of the materials is established for the first time and can be comprehensively improved through these four synergistic mechanisms, named solid solution strengthening, denseness strengthening, grain boundary strengthening, and twin boundary strengthening.
Benefiting from the high polarization difference (Δ P) of 32.62 μC/cm 2, delayed saturation polarization behavior, and an ultrahigh Eb of 815.00 kV/cm, BNT-based ceramics simultaneously achieve a high energy storage density (Wrec) of ∼12.25 J/cm 3 and an efficiency (η) of ∼86.90%.
According to the above definition, the key to achieve excellent energy storage density is to increase Pmax while reducing Pr (i.e., obtaining high ΔP = Pmax - Pr) and enhancing Eb, the breakdown strength, which is closely associated with the maximum applied electric field the ceramics can withstand.
A high recoverable energy storage density (Wrec), efficiency (η), and improved temperature stability are hot topics to estimate the industrial applicability of ceramic materials. A large maximum polarization (Pmax), low remnant polarization (Pr), and high breakdown field (Eb) are sought after to attain a greater Wrec and η.
We then measured the thermal stability of the energy-storage performance in the range of −55° to 100°C (Fig. 4E and fig. S20). The MLCCs show good performance stability at an electric field of 500 and 700 kV cm −1 with degradation below ~10% for Ue and η over the entire measurement temperature range.
To enhance the energy storage performance in dielectric materials, researchers utilized strategies such as refining grain morphology or grain orientation at a mesoscopic scale 8, 9 as well as implementing domain engineering at a microscopic level 10, 11.
