存在对称性破缺引起的自极化及通过外界刺激可以改变其极化状态的铁电薄膜, 是一类重要的光电功能材料. 铁电薄膜的光伏效应在光探测、能量转换和非易失性存储等领域表现出了潜在应用前景. 针对铁电薄膜光电流密度较小, 且存在退极化现象导致的光伏性能退化问题, 有必要寻求提高薄膜自极化的新途径, 并对其导电性进行调控, 进一步优化铁电薄膜的光伏性能. 本文采用溶胶-凝胶法在FTO导电玻璃上沉积了Au纳米粒子弥散分布在铁酸铋(BiFeO3, BFO)薄膜中的Au-BFO纳米复合薄膜, 研究了Au含量(0, 0.25 mol%, 0.5 mol%, 1 mol%和3 mol%)与此复合薄膜微观组织、电学和光伏性能的关系, 以确定Au的最佳添加量. 压电力显微镜的测量结果表明, Au含量为0.5 mol%时, Au-BFO纳米复合薄膜具有较强的自极化现象. 随着Au含量的增大, Au-BFO纳米复合薄膜的导电机制由肖特基发射模型转变为空间电荷限制电流. 对复合薄膜的光伏性能进行测试, 结果表明Au含量为0.5 mol%时, Au-BFO纳米复合薄膜的开路电压和短路电流分别是BFO薄膜的近3和5倍. Au-BFO纳米复合薄膜光伏效应的改善主要来源于复合薄膜的自极化现象增强和导电机制转变. 本文提拱了一种简单有效的改善铁电薄膜光伏效应的方法, 为进一步理解铁电薄膜的光伏效应提供了新的视角.Ferroelectric films, are an important class of photoelectric functional material, which possess the following characteristics: the breaking of their symmetry can lead to self-polarization and this polarization state can be regulated by external stimuli. The photovoltaic properties of ferroelectric films have been extensively investigated due to their potential applications in the field of photodetection, energy conversion harvesting and nonvolatile storage. In view of the small photocurrent density and the degradation of photovoltaic property caused by the depolarization effect in ferroelectric films, it is necessary to explore an approach to improving the self-polarization phenomenon and regulating the conduction mechanism to further optimize their photovoltaic properties. Here in this work, BiFeO3 (BFO) films dispersed with Au nanoparticles are deposited on FTO glass substrates by the sol-gel method to obtain the Au-BFO nanocomposite films. Moreover, the relationships between Au content (0 mol%, 0.25 mol%, 0.5 mol%, 1 mol% and 3 mol%) and microstructure, electrical and photovoltaic properties of Au-BFO nanocomposite films are investigated to determine the optimal Au content. Piezoresponse force microscopy studies show that the Au-BFO nanocomposite film with 0.5 mol% Au has the strong self-polarization phenomenon. With the increase of Au content, the conduction mechanism of the Au-BFO nanocomposite films is described by the space-charge limited current theory but not the Schottky emission model any more. The photovoltaic properties of the Au-BFO nanocomposite films first increase and then decrease. When Au content is 0.5 mol%, the Au-BFO nanocomposite film has the best photovoltaic property. The open-circuit voltage and short-circuit photocurrent density of the Au-BFO nanocomposite film with 0.5 mol% Au increase nearly 3 and 5 times counterparts of the BFO film, respectively. The photovoltaic effects of Au-BFO nanocomposite films are improved mainly by regulating the self-polarization phenomenon and conduction mechanism. This study demonstrates the merits of BFO films dispersed with Au nanoparticles, specifically, the photovoltaic properties of Au-BFO nanocomposite films are further optimized. In this work, we propose a simple and effective method to regulate the electrical and photovoltaic properties of ferroelectric films, which provides a new perspective for further understanding the photovoltaic effects of ferroelectric films.
