Abstract Most reported thin-film piezoelectric energy harvesters have been based on cantilever-type crystalline ferroelectric oxide thin films deposited on rigid substrates, which utilize vibrational input sources. Herein, we introduce flexible amorphous thin-film energy harvesters based on perovskite CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin films on a plastic substrate for highly competitive electromechanical energy harvesting. The room-temperature sputtering of CCTO thin films enable the use of plastic substrates to secure reliable flexibility, which has not been available thus far. Surprisingly, the resultant amorphous nature of the films results in an output voltage and power density of ~38.7 V and ~2.8 × 106 μW cm−3, respectively, which break the previously reported record for typical polycrystalline ferroelectric oxide thin-film cantilevers. The origin of this excellent electromechanical energy conversion is systematically explored as being related to the localized permanent dipoles of TiO6 octahedra and lowered dielectric constant in the amorphous state, depending on the stoichiometry and defect states. This is the leading example of a high-performance flexible piezoelectric energy harvester based on perovskite oxides not requiring a complex process for transferring films onto a plastic substrate. |
