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.
