Improving the energy storage density of dielectric capacitors has absorbed extensive attention for energy storage. However, a decrease in breakdown strength may be aroused after the addition of abundant fillers, it is necessary to design the composite film with a sandwich structure without the sacrifice of mechanical properties. The PPy-TiO 2 /PVDF monolayer film and PVDF/PPy-TiO 2 /PVDF sandwich-structured composite films were successfully prepared via electrospinning and a hot-press treatment. The experiment results show that the dielectric constant of the composite films can be enhanced effectively by adding PPy-TiO 2 .When the filling amount is 30 wt%, the energy storage density of PVDF/PPy-TiO 2 /PVDF sandwich-structured composite films is outstanding before the breakdown strength, which is higher than that of the pure PVDF film. The energy storage density of PVDF/PPy-TiO 2 /PVDF sandwich-structured composite films could be achieved to 2.68 J/cm 3 under the electric strength of 1700 kV/cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
