Present work reports the fabrication of a multilayer (5-layer) structure of BiFeO{sub 3}(BFO)/BaTiO{sub 3}(BTO) using spin-coating technique. The crystallographic structure, surface morphology and ferroelectric behavior of multilayer structure in metal-ferroelectric-metal capacitor have been studied. Le-Bail refinement of X-ray diffraction data revealed the formation of polycrystalline pure perovskite phase with induced stress. The values of remnant (P{sub r}) and saturation polarization (P{sub s}) for BFO/BTO multilayer structure are found to be 38.14 μC/cm{sup 2} and 71.54 μC/cm{sup 2} respectively, which are much higher than the corresponding values reported for bare BFO thin film. A large value of dielectric constant of 187 has been obtained for multilayer structure with a low leakage current density of 1.09 × 10{sup −7} A/cm{sup 2} at applied bias of 10 V. The BFO/BTO multilayer structure favors the enhanced energy storage capacity as compared to bare BFO thin film with improved values of energy-density and charge-discharge efficiency as 121 mJ/cm{sup 3} and 59% respectively, suggesting futuristic energy storage applications.
