Enhanced performance of P(VDF-HFP) composites using two-dimensional BaTiO3 platelets and graphene hybrids

Carbon nano-materials e.g. graphene are widely utilized to prepare high-к dielectrics due to their low percolation threshold. However, composites incorporated with conductive carbon nano-materials usually suffer from high dielectric loss. In this work, a strategy is proposed to suppress the dielectric loss of graphene/P(VDF-HFP) composites using two-dimensional BaTiO 3 platelets. Large interfacial region is formed in the composites due to the hybrid fillers , which results with enhanced interfacial polarization . The BaTiO 3 platelets are aligned in the perpendicular direction to the surface of the composite film after the treatment of tape casting . These aligned BaTiO 3 platelets act as isolation belts to block the electron transportation path. In these contributions, composite with a high permittivity of 66.2 and suppressed dielectric loss of 0.048 are simultaneously obtained. This work provide a feasible route to prepare high performance dielectric composites.
