Abstract

Advances in smart and wearable devices are driving innovations in multifunctional flexible materials at a tremendous pace. Here, drawing support from the unique flexible fluorophlogopite mica platform, we present a promising all-inorganic bendable Mn-modified 0.65(0.94Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3)-0.35SrTiO3 (NBBST) film with dual use in electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration and energy storage via a cost-effective transfer-free process. An appreciable room-temperature EC effect with adiabatic temperature change of 12 K and isothermal entropy of 18 J K-1 kg-1 was realized in the NBBST film, which benefits from the large change in dipolar ordering near depolarization temperature. Also, the film exhibits a broad operating temperature span over 25 °C because of its relaxor feature. Most importantly, the film can maintain a high EC performance either under bending deformation at 5 mm radius or after undergoing 104 bending-unbending cycles. Meanwhile, the flexible NBBST film possesses good energy storage property with a recoverable energy density of 56 J cm-3 and an efficiency of 66%. This is the first example of a lead-free all-inorganic multifunctional film capacitor toward the flexible EC refrigeration and energy storage devices. This work shows bright prospects in the emerging flexible e-market.
