Abstract
Polarization switching and energy storage properties of highly (100) oriented antiferroelectric (AFE) (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films (≤250 nm) deposited via a sol-gel process with both LaNiO3 and Pt top electrodes were investigated. By using LaNiO3 top electrodes, the energy density as well as energy efficiency can be enhanced by 4.6 J/cm3 and 11%, respectively. Furthermore, the films with LaNiO3 top electrodes are more capable of providing high energy density over a wide temperature regime above room temperature compared to Pt. This work clearly highlights that oxide top electrodes can greatly improve the energy storage performance of antiferroelectric thin film capacitors.Keywords
