We grew lead-free BaZrTiO (BZT)/BaCaTiO (BCT) epitaxial heterostructures and studied their structural, dielectric, ferroelectric and energy density characteristics. The BZT/BCT epitaxial heterostructures were grown on SrRuO (SRO) buffered SrTiO (STO) single crystal substrate by optimized pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. These high-quality nanostructures exhibit high dielectric permittivity (∼1300), slim electric field-dependent polarization (P-E) curve with high saturation polarization (∼100 µC/cm) and low remnant polarization (∼20 µC/cm) through interface engineering to develop new lead-free ferroelectric system for energy storage devices. We observe an ultrahigh discharge and charge energy densities of 42.10 and 97.13 J/cm, respectively, with high efficiency, which might be highly promising for both high power and energy storage electrical devices.
我们生长了无铅的锆钛酸钡(BZT)/钛酸钡钙(BCT)外延异质结构,并研究了它们的结构、介电、铁电和能量密度特性。通过优化的脉冲激光沉积(PLD)技术,在钌酸锶(SRO)缓冲的钛酸锶(STO)单晶衬底上生长了BZT/BCT外延异质结构。通过界面工程开发用于储能器件的新型无铅铁电系统,这些高质量的纳米结构表现出高介电常数(约1300)、具有高饱和极化(约100 μC/cm)和低剩余极化(约20 μC/cm)的窄电场依赖极化(P-E)曲线。我们分别观察到42.10和97.13 J/cm的超高放电和充电能量密度,且效率很高,这对于高功率和储能电气设备可能非常有前景。
