“…More recently, a thin film poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) ferroelectric copolymer (PVDF/TrFE) with interdigitated comb‐like electrodes (IDT) was prepared by controlling the level of polarization via an electric field that was applied during annealing. [ 90 ] The IDT structure and resulting infrared sensor are shown in Figure 5f,g, respectively. The infrared illumination of the IDT structure led to localized heating, aided by plasmonic photothermal heating from the Au electrode that triggered a pyroelectric response from the ferroelectric PVDF/TrFE.…”

With the growing global energy crisis, research into new energy materials that can potentially transfer heat into electricity has become a worldwide imperative. Pyroelectric materials are polar materials that are able to produce electrical charge in response to temperature change. These materials are of interest for infrared sensing, energy harvesting, and emerging applications in chemistry and biology. However, unlocking their potential requires the temperature changes to be both large and rapid. To achieve this goal, pyroelectric materials can be used in synergy with plasmonic nanomaterials, which provide highly localized and rapid heating upon illumination at the plasmonic resonances. Plasmonic‐pyroelectric combinations are therefore being used for a variety of electrical, thermal, electrochemical, and biological studies and are inspiring new technological applications. In this review, the underlying mechanisms of the pyroelectric and plasmonic effects are introduced and the benefits of combining them are outlined. A range of applications is then overviewed. Critical challenges and future perspectives to further develop the underlying science of these systems and to create highly efficient plasmonic‐pyroelectric materials and structures are discussed.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF‐TrFE)] has three crystal forms, including paraelectric α, ferroelectric β, and γ phases. In previous studies, the properties and performances of P(VDF‐TrFE) have been the focus of research. However, the formation mechanism and regulation mode of various crystal forms remain unclear. Therefore, it is an important topic for further research to elucidate, summarize, and prospect the polymorphism of P(VDF‐TrFE) and regulate the crystal forms. This review systematically summarizes the crystalline structure and phase transition between ferroelectric and paraelectric phase of P(VDF‐TrFE) crystals; discusses the influence of annealing, blending and electric field on the crystallinity, selection of polymorphic crystals, and phase transition behavior between them; reviews the effects of annealing, melt‐recrystallization, substrate and nanoconfinement on the crystal orientation. Finally, the effects of the crystal structure of P(VDF‐TrFE) on its properties are briefly summarized.

Polymer‐based pyroelectric thin films are crucial functional materials at the core of flexible and lightweight electronic devices, such as wearable monitoring sensors, energy harvesters, and infrared detectors. Nevertheless, the pyroelectric properties of the polymer films, such as poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)), vanish when the surrounding temperature exceeds the ferroelectric‐to‐paraelectric transition temperature, and thus limits their pyroelectric performance to a low‐temperature range. Herein, to mitigate this issue by employing a new class of P(VDF‐TrFE) copolymer which has a low TrFE molar content is proposed. Fine‐tuning of the structure through thermal annealing in a vacuum environment significantly favors robust and highly polarized polymer films with a large area. Electric poling combined with an optimal annealing temperature (110–120 °C) gives highly ordered ferroelectric crystalline domains in the polymer films. Consequently, this remarkably broadens the temperature range (roughly up to 140 °C) for which the polymer film still presents high pyroelectric properties (pyroelectric coefficient 50 µC (m2K)−1). This study provides an alternative choice for pyroelectric polymer films with enhanced pyroelectricity in applications that require wider temperature ranges.
