Electrostatic capacitors have high power density, but how to improve the energy storage density of electrostatic capacitors has always been the key to solving energy problems in the background of the energy crisis. Designing multi-layer core−shell inorganic nanofillers is an effective way to break the contradiction between high dielectric constant and high breakdown strength in nanocomposites to improve the energy storage performance. Herein, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based nanocomposites are proposed, which are filled with multi-layer core−shell structured inorganic BaTiO 3 @ Ba x Sr 1−x TiO 3 @DA nanoparticles (BT@BST@DA NPs). In the optimized 2 wt % PVDF/BaTiO 3 @Ba x Sr 1−x TiO 3 @DA nanoparticle (PVDF/BT@BST@DA NPs) nanocomposite material, a high discharge energy density of 13.75 J/cm 3 (370 MV/m) can be obtained, as well as excellent discharge efficiency. The dielectric performance and energy storage density of 2 wt % PVDF/BT@BST@DA NPs are proven to be better than 2 wt % PVDF/BaTiO 3 @DA nanoparticles (PVDF/BT@DA NPs). This work provides a strategy for the development of dielectrics for electrostatic capacitors with high energy storage density.
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.
