dc.description.abstractThe compositionally graded multilayer Pb(1−3x/2)LaxZr0.85Ti0.15O3 (PLZT) antiferroelectric (AFE) thick films were deposited on LaNiO3/Si (100) substrates by using a sol–gel method. The effect of gradient sequence on dielectric properties, energy-storage performance, and electrocaloric effect (ECE) was investigated in detail. It is found that the compositionally graded films exhibited a significant enhancement in dielectric properties, energy-storage performance and ECE, which was, in contrast to the single-composition PLZT film, contributed by the strain and the gradient of polarization near the interfaces between the adjacent layers. A recoverable energy-storage density of 44 J/cm3 and efficiency of 71% was obtained in the up-graded PLZT AFE thick film at 1950 kV/cm. A giant reversible adiabatic temperature change of ∆T=28 °C at room temperature at 900 kV/cm was also achieved in the up-graded film. Moreover, all the thick films displayed a small leakage current density below 10−6 A/cm2 at room temperature. Thus, the compositionally graded PLZT AFE thick films with a large recoverable energy-storage density and a giant ECE could be a potential candidate for the applications in high energy-storage density capacitors and cooling devices.en_UK
