Abstract

A Sr2Nb3O10 (SN) monolayer deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si (PSS) was employed as the template for the growth of crystalline NaNbO3 (NNO) thin films at low temperatures. The [0 0 1]-oriented crystalline NNO film was effectively grown on SN/PSS at 250 °C. This NNO film showed a small εr of 115, along with good insulating properties with a low leakage-current density (4.5 × 10–6 A/cm2 at 0.3 MV/cm). This NNO film displayed a large d33 of 123 pC/N, which is the largest d33 value for NNO films to date. Moreover, it shows a very large d33 × g33 (14.8 × 10–12 m2/N), which is the figure of merit for the power of piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs). The NNO film grown on SN/Ni at 250 °C for the fabrication of PEH also demonstrated dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics. The NNO PEH exhibited a high power density (2.1 μW/mm3), indicating that the [0 0 1]-oriented NNO film grown on the SN seed layer is a good candidate for PEH. Moreover, this NNO film can be deposited on a polymer substrate and utilized as a future flexible device owing to its very low growth temperature and good physical properties.
