In this work, we demonstrate a capacitor with high energy densities, low energy losses, fast discharge times, and high temperature stabilities, based on Pb0.97Y0.02[(Zr0.6Sn0.4)0.925Ti0.075]O3 (PYZST) antiferroelectric thin-films. PYZST thin-films exhibited a high recoverable energy density of Ureco = 21.0 J/cm(3) with a high energy storage efficiency of η = 91.9% under an electric field of 1300 kV/cm, providing faster microsecond discharge times than those of commercial polypropylene capacitors. Moreover, PYZST thin-films exhibited high temperature stabilities with regard to their energy storage properties over temperatures ranging from room temperature to 100 ℃ and also exhibited strong charge-discharge fatigue endurance up to 10(7) cycles.
