Abstract: BiFeO3-SrTiO3(BFO-STO) ceramics have attracted considerable attention as lead-free functional materials due to their high-temperature stability and intrinsic multiferroic coupling. These characteristics make them promising candidates for high-temperature piezoelectric devices and energy-storage applications. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in BFO-STO ceramics:modulating the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) to improve polarization and energy storage performance;optimizing ceramic preparation methods, including the solid-state reaction method, sol-gel, spark plasma sintering (SPS), and two-step sintering process strategies to regulate the phase structure, grain size, and performance of ceramics;employing A/B site and ternary oxide doping to adjust the microstructure, crystal structure, and defects, thereby improving piezoelectric, dielectric, multiferroic performance, and energy-storage stability;elucidating the interplay between crystal structure, microstructure, and macroscopic functional responses;and exploring potential applications in energy storage, high-temperature sensors, and magnetoelectric devices.
