In this study, we present an effective strategy to enhance energy-storage density by the Mn2+ substitution of Ti4+ into 0.7(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.3SrTiO3 (0.7NBT-0.3ST) relaxor ferroelectric thin films. The influence of Mn doping on the microstructures, ferroelectric properties, and energy-storage perfo...
