Dielectric
capacitors have received more and more attention because
of fast charge/discharge capability. However, the energy-storage performance
still cannot meet the demand. In this work, lead-free perovskite Sr1–x
(Na0.5Bi0.5)
x
Ti0.99Mn0.01O3 (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.02) thin films
prepared by the sol–gel method were carefully studied. Defect
dipoles and local lattice distortion were created by doping Mn at
the B-site, enabling ferroelectric polarization behavior. To further
enhance polarization, co-substitution at the A-site was adopted. Na+ and Bi3+ can make up Na+–Bi3+ ion pairs. Meanwhile, off-center NaSr
+ and BiSr
3+ ions with a small radius can lead to
the distortion of the octahedral [TiO6] in the lattice
to induce local polarization regions. Under the combined action of
A-site and B-site doping, polarization and breakdown strength were
greatly improved. Finally, a high energy density (53 J cm–3) and good thermal stability were achieved. Furthermore, the negative
electrocaloric effect was also achieved. The adiabatic temperature
change is about −8.5 at 300 K. This work demonstrates that
the Sr0.99(Na0.5Bi0.5)0.01(Ti0.99Mn0.01)O3 thin film with
excellent energy-storage performance and the negative electrocaloric
effect is a promising multifunctional material.
