Highlights
• Pmax can be greatly improved with increasing KBT content.
• The introduction of KBT with large band gap compensates the deterioration of BDS.
• 0.62SBT-0.38KBT shows high W (2.21 J/cm3) and η (91.4%) at high BDS (220 kV/cm).
• 0.62SBT-0.38KBT exhibits both high Wd (1.81 J/cm3) and PD (49.5 MW/cm3).
• 0.62SBT-0.38KBT shows excellent stability of temperature, frequency and cycling.

Abstract
Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 (SBT) by increasing the proportion and size of polar nano-region. Meanwhile, the BDS remains a high level with x ≤ 0.38 attributed to the addition of KBT with a large band gap. As a result, the 0.62SBT-0.38KBT exhibits a high energy storage density of 2.21 J/cm3 with high η of 91.4% at 220 kV/cm and superior temperature stability (−55 ~ 150 °C), frequency stability (10 ~ 500 Hz) and fatigue resistance (105 cycles). Moreover, high pulsed discharge energy density (1.81 J/cm3), high power density (49.5 MW/cm3) and great thermal stability (20 ~ 160 °C) are achieved in 0.62SBT-0.38KBT. Based on these excellent properties, the 0.62SBT-0.38KBT are suitable for pulsed power systems. This work provides a novel strategy and systematic study for improving energy storage properties of SBT.
