In this study, BaTiO3(BTO)-doped YBCO films are prepared on LaAlO3(100) single-crystal substrates by metal–organic decomposition(MOD) using trifluoroacetate(TFA) precursor solutions. The critical current density(Jc) of BTO/YBCO film is as high as 10 MA/cm2(77 K, 0 T). The BTO peak is found in the X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern of a final YBCO superconductivity film. Moreover, a comprehensive study of the precursor evolution is conducted mainly by X-ray analysis and μ-Raman spectroscopy. It is found that the TFA begins to decompose at the beginning of the thermal process, and then further decomposes as temperature increases, and at 700?C BTO nanoparticles begin to appear. It suggests that the YBCO film embedded with BTO nanoparticles, whose critical current density(Jc) is enhanced, is successfully prepared by an easily scalable chemical solution deposition technique.
