Flexible ferroelectric films with high polarization hold great promise for energy storage and electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration. Herein, we fabricate a lead-free Mn-modified 0.75 Bi (Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 –0.25 BaTiO 3 (BMT–BTO) thin film based on a flexible mica substrate.
Meanwhile, a good energy storage density of ∼70.6 J cm –3 and a quite high efficiency of ∼82% are realized in the same ferroelectric film, accompanied by excellent stability of frequency and electric fatigue (500–10 kHz and 10 8 cycles). Furthermore, there is no apparent variation in performance under different bending strains.
Through the integration of mechanical bending design and defect dipole engineering, the recoverable energy storage density of freestanding PbZr 0.52 Ti 0.48 O 3 (PZT) ferroelectric films has been significantly enhanced to 349.6 J cm −3 compared to 99.7 J cm −3 in the strain (defect) -free state, achieving an increase of ≈251%.
Moreover, the energy storage properties of flexible ferroelectric thin films can be further fine-tuned by adjusting bending angles and defect dipole concentrations, offering a versatile platform for control and performance optimization.
Taking PZT, which exhibits the most significant improvement among the four ferroelectric materials, as an example, the recoverable energy storage density has a remarkable enhancement with the gradual increase in defect dipole density and the strengthening of in-plane bending strain.
A classic approach to promote energy storage performance involves combining ferroelectrics with materials of a different structure to reduce Pr and increase Eb.
