Rare earth-doped ferroelectric (FE) ceramics have attracted much attention due to their great potential application for novel multifunctional optical-electro devices. This study successfully devised and fabricated tungsten bronze SrSmxAg NaNbZrxO ceramics, demonstrating exceptional energy storage and luminescent properties suitable for multifunctional capacitors. Effects of co-doping Sm and Zr in A and B sites on the phases structure, FE, energy storage and photoluminescence properties of SrSmxAgNaNbZrxO ceramics were systematically investigated. Through employing various collaborative optimization strategies, encompassing the refinement of ceramic grains, the induction of nanodomain generation and the incorporation of large bandgap components, enhancement of breakdown strength and regulation of constructing relaxor FEs were achieved. Encouragingly, the high-performance multifunctional materials with remarkable recoverable energy storage metrics ( 3.72J/cm3, 82.7%), brilliant red-orange light emission and distinguished frequency and temperature stabilities within specific ranges were obtained in SrSmAgNaNbZrO ceramics. Besides, the multifunctional ceramics demonstrated a high-power density (68.1MW/cm, a substantial current density (908.1A/cm and a fast discharge time (51ns) at 190kV/cm. These findings suggest that the designed SrSmxAgNaNbZrxO ceramics hold promise as candidate materials for dielectric capacitors.
