  • Achieved initial nanocrystal formation followed by controlled amorphization.
  • Fabricated a bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12)-based film with a crystalline/amorphous structure.

    • Main Results:

    • Developed a flexible Bi4Ti3O12-based ceramic film capable of withstanding ~180° folding.
    • Achieved significant bending strain (4.80%) and tensile elongation (5.29%).
    • The resulting flexible dielectric capacitor exhibited high permittivity (~35), good temperature stability, and durability.

    Conclusions:

    • A high-entropy strategy successfully created a flexible ceramic with a unique crystalline/amorphous microstructure.
    • This approach balances ceramic functionality with mechanical flexibility, enabling new applications.
    • The findings pave the way for next-generation flexible functional ceramics for advanced electronics.
