The stretched PVDF films exhibit a substantial and concurrent increase in both permittivity and breakdown strength. The microstructure–property relationship is investigated to provide guidance in PVDF polymers for high-energy storage applications.
All-organic dielectric
composites are drawing increased attention
owing to their high operating voltage, low loss, and superior processability.
However, polymers usually possess a relatively lower dielectric constant
than most the other dielectrics, which seriously suppresses the improvement
of their energy density. In this work, multilayer-structured composites
with excellent dielectric and energy storage properties are prepared
by the stacking method, and the effect of layer numbers on the performance
of the composites is studied. High-κ polymers such as poly(vinylidenefluoride)
(PVDF) and poly(vinylidenefluoride-ter-trifluoroethylene-ter-chlorotrifluoroethylene)
(P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)) are used to prepare the composites with different
layers. It is found that the dielectric constant is up to 14.45 at
1 kHz, which is increased with the volume fraction of the P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)
layer and layer number of the composites. Due to the increased dielectric
constant, an ultrahigh discharge energy density of 18.12 J/cm
3
is achieved at the electric field of 620 kV/mm. This study
exhibits an effective routine to prepare flexible high-performance
dielectric materials.
