(Pb0.85Ba0.08Sr0.03La0.03)(Zr0.74Sn0.22Ti0.04) (Ba, Sr co-doped PLZST) co-doping antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics with orthorhombic perovskite structure were prepared by the traditional solid state reaction process. It was observed that the doping of barium and strontium caused the Curie temperature of PLZST move to the lower temperature (T-c approximate to 40 degrees C). Ba, Sr co-doped PLZST AFE ceramics exhibited excellent electrical properties, the AFE to ferroelectric (FE) transition occurred at field E-AF approximate to 90 kV/cm, and the transition from FE to AFE occurred at E-FA approximate to 85 kV/cm. The maximum relative permittivity was about 4800, occurring at a field near the AFE to FE transition point, with a dielectric loss of 0.006. The samples exhibited small Delta E and slanted hysteresis loops with a large breakdown field of 100 kV/cm due to Ba, Sr co-doping ceramics, and a high energy density of 1.2 J/cm(3).
