ABSTRACT

Accepted: 8 September 2020

The coupling of photochromic properties and ferroelectrics has captured increasing interest in field of photoelectric devices. However, it is still a challenge to achieve excellent photochromic properties and energy storage performances in a ferroelectric material at the same time. Here, a novel photoelectric multifunctional material of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3:0.05Eu is obtained. Under visible light irradiation, the sample can effectively absorb and store visible light, showing a reversible photochromic reaction. Eu3? doping well achieves the readout of visible light storage by tuning luminescence emission intensity, and the luminescent modulation ratio is up to 84%. Meanwhile, a recoverable energy storage density of 2.02 J cm-3, high energy storage efficiency of 75.4%, and fast discharge speed (80 ns) are simultaneously acquired because of Eu3? dopinginduced transition of normal ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric. The unique combination of photochromic properties and energy storage performances in ferroelectrics opens the door to the development of photoelectric multifunctional devices.

1 Introduction The demand for miniaturization and integration of multifunctional electronic components is increasing due to the rapid development of advanced material science and photoelectric technology [1–11]. Optoelectronic multifunctional materials have attracted enormous attention because of assembling multiple

ideal properties in one device for highly integrated data storage, smart sensor and signal processing [12–15]. Over the past decades, it has been found that ferroelectric oxides doped with rare-earth ions occupy an important position among the optoelectronic multifunctional materials owing to their intrinsic ferroelectric and distinctive photoluminescence properties [16–27]. Rare-earth ions doped ferroelectrics are normally composed of a host and

activators. In ferroelectric hosts, a spontaneous polarization is reversed by an external electric field, resulting in the storage and release of electrical energy [28–30]. Rare-earth ions are introduced into ferroelectric oxides as activators, which endow ferroelectrics with outstanding photoluminescence properties. In our previously research results, we found that some of these rare-earth ions doped ferroe
