In this work, a traditional solid-state method was adopted to prepare dense BaCa[(ZrTi)–(NbLa)x]O3(BCZT–xNL) lead-free relaxation ferroelectrics with excellent energy storage performance (ESP). Remarkably, a large breakdown field strength of BDS (kV/cm) resulting from decreased grain size by double ions doping at the B-site was achieved in BCZT–xNL ceramics. Especially, the BCZT–0.12NL ceramic displays a good recoverable energy density () of 3.1J/cm3, a high efficiency of 86.7% () and a superior fatigue resistance, as well as a superior charge–discharge performance (A/cm2, MW/cm3, J/cm3, ns) and good thermal stability. Besides, upon NL doping, the FE to RFE phase transition results in a dielectric behavior traversing the relaxation phase () accompanied by frequency dispersion, which is beneficial to improve ESP. The superior ESP in this work indicates that BCZT–0.12NL ceramics are a promising candidate used in energy storage capacitors.
