Abstract
Amorphous thin films with high power density and breakdown strength satisfy the needs of advanced power electronic systems. Nonetheless, improving the energy storage density of amorphous films is critical for addressing the growing demand for electricity. We apply high spontaneous polarization BaTiO3 as the main component to make (1-x)Ba(Ti0.99Mn0.02)O3-xBiFeO3((1-x)BTM-xBF) thin films. Doping BiFeO3 (BF) synergistically boosts polarization. The introduction of amorphous phases and Mn ions enhances the breakdown strength. The results demonstrate that, at x = 0.10, the film can achieve both a high efficiency of 80.3 % and an excellent energy storage density of 111.3 J cm-3. Moreover, the film has a strong thermal stability within a broad range of 20 to 160 °C, as well as the cycling reliability is as high as 105 times. The present study offers a practical approach to develop film capacitors with outstanding energy storage capabilities.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
