Abstract

Abstract: Inspired by the increasing demand for energy-storage capacitors in electrical and electronic systems, dielectrics with high energy-storage performance have attracted more and more attention. AgNbO₃-based lead-free ceramics serve as one of the most promising environmental-friendly candidates. However, their energy storage optimization is seriously limited by the low breakdown strength. Fortunately, thin film as a form of AgNbO₃ materials can effectively improve the breakdown strength. In this work, AgNbO₃ film with ∼550 nm in thickness was deposited on SrRuO₃/(001)SrTiO₃ using pulsed laser deposition. The AgNbO₃ film reveals typical relaxor ferroelectric hysteresis loops due to the new nanopillar structure, which contributes to high breakdown strength of up to 1200 kV cm^-1. Benefiting from the high breakdown strength, a recoverable energy storage density of 10.3 J cm^-3 and an energy efficiency of 72.2% are obtained in the AgNbO₃ film, which demonstrates the promising prospect of AgNbO₃ film for energy storage applications.
