Abstract: The process complexity, limited stability, and distinct synthesis and dispersion steps restrict the usage of multicomponent metal oxide nanodispersions in solution-processed electronics. Herein, sonochemistry is employed for the in situ synthesis and formulation of a colloidal nanodispersion of high-permittivity (κ) multicomponent lanthanum zirconium oxide (LZO: La2Zr2O7). The continuous propagation of intense ultrasound waves in the aqueous medium allows the generation of oxidant species which, on reaction, form nanofragments of crystalline LZO at ∼80 °C. Simultaneously, the presence of acidic byproducts in the vicinity promotes the formulation of a stable as-prepared LZO dispersion. The LZO thin film exhibits a κ of 16, and thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on LZO/indium gallium zinc oxide operate at low input voltages (≤4 V), with the maximum mobility (μ) and on/off ratio (Ion/Ioff) of 5.45 ± 0.06 cm2 V-1 s-1 and ∼105, respectively. TFTs based on the compound dielectric LZO/Al2O3 present a marginal reduction in leakage current, along with enhancement in μ (6.16 ± 0.04 cm2 V-1 s-1) and Ion/Ioff (∼105). Additionally, a 3 × 3 array of the proposed TFTs exhibits appreciable performance, with a μ of 3-6 cm2 V-1 s-1, a threshold voltage of -0.5 to 0.8 V, a subthreshold swing of 0.3-0.6 V dec-1, and an Ion/Ioff of 1-2.5 (×106).
