Strontium aluminate, with suitable lattice parameters and environmentally friendly water solubility, has been strongly sought for use as a sacrificial layer in the preparation of freestanding perovskite oxide thin films in recent years. However, due to this material’s inherent water solubility, the methods used for the preparation of epitaxial films have mainly been limited to high-vacuum techniques, which greatly limits these films’ development. In this study, we prepared freestanding single-crystal perovskite oxide thin films on strontium aluminate using a simple, easy-to-develop, and low-cost chemical full-solution deposition technique. We demonstrate that a reasonable choice of solvent molecules can effectively reduce the damage to the strontium aluminate layer, allowing successful epitaxy of perovskite oxide thin films, such as 2-methoxyethanol and acetic acid. Molecular dynamics simulations further demonstrated that this is because of their stronger adsorption capacity on the strontium aluminate surface, which enables them to form an effective protective layer to inhibit the hydration reaction of strontium aluminate. Moreover, the freestanding film can still maintain stable ferroelectricity after release from the substrate, which provides an idea for the development of single-crystal perovskite oxide films and creates an opportunity for their development in the field of flexible electronic devices. |
