Superior Capacitive Energy Storage of BaTiO3‐Based Polymorphic Relaxor Ferroelectrics Engineered by Mesoscopically Chemical Homogeneity by Aiwen Xie, Ziyi Yu, Junwei Lei, Yi Zhang, Ao Tian, Xuewen Jiang, Xinchun Xie, Yuewei Yin, Zhenqian Fu, Xiaoguang Li, Ruzhong Zuo

“…In this work, a mesoscopic structure engineered ergodic relaxor state is realized by adjusting submicron‐grain scaled chemical homogenity, exhibiting polymorphic polar nanoregions of various scales in different grains. This produces a relatively continuous polarization switching with increasing the applied electric field from diverse grains, thus resulting in a linear‐like polarization response feature. …”
