Abstract

In dielectric capacitors, ferroelectric thin films with slim polarisation electric (P-E) hysteresis loops, which are mainly characterised by small residual polarisation (Pr) and large saturation polarisation (Ps) are expected to obtain high recoverable energy density (Ur) and efficiency (η). However, a lower breakdown in ferroelectric thin films usually impedes this result. Here, through the co-doping of La3+ and Pr3+ ions, a larger Ur of 54.27 J/cm3 and high η of 85.6% were obtained in four-layered Aurivillius phase ferroelectric thin films capacitors due to the enhanced breakdown electric field. The doped films annealed at relatively low temperatures showed similar energy storage properties compared with those of the prototype and higher energy storage efficiency compared with that of higher annealing films. In addition, the obtained thin film shows excellent energy storage properties in a wide frequency range, fatigue durability and good thermal stability. These results indicated that four-layered Aurivillius films are promising candidate materials for dielectric energy storage capacitors. The co-doping of double ions was an effective way to improve energy storage performance.
