Here, a novel PVDF-HFP/PI side-by-side bicomponent electrospun separator with cross-linked structure is successfully fabricated for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The bicomponent composite fiber not only integrates the excellent characteristics of PVDF-HFP and PI , but also improves the mechanical strength of the electrospun nonwoven and maintains a high level of porosity, up to 85.9 %. Moreover, the PVDF-HFP/PI(T) fibrous separator emerges outstanding performance, including the thermal dimensional stability (up to 200 °C), self-extinguishment, high electrolyte uptake (483.5 %), good ionic conductivity (1.78 × 10 −3 S/cm), wide electrochemical stability window (up to 4.94 V vs. Li + /Li) and favorable interface structure . It is further confirmed by the 3D simulation that the PVDF-HFP/PI(T) nonwoven using as the LIBs separator is beneficial to the homogeneous transmission of lithium ions . As a result, the coin cells with PVDF-HFP/PI(T) separator possess the best first discharge capacity (120.41 mAh g −1 ) and coulombic efficiency (99.36 %) with respect to that of Celgard2320 separator and cross-electrospun PVDF-HFP + PI(T) separator. After 50 cycles, the discharge capacity of Li/PVDF-HFP/PI(T)/LiFePO 4 is found to be retained around 98.13 %, which is higher than 94.91 % of Celgard2320 separator and 96.09 % of cross-electrospun PVDF-HFP + PI(T) separator. Moreover, the coin cell using the PVDF-HFP/PI (T) separator exhibited good discharge capacity under different discharge C-rate at 45 °C, indicating its potential for the high-temperature safety of LIBs. In sum, the PVDF-HFP/PI(T) nonwoven with excellent property has an application prospect in the field of LIBs separator, which also provides a reliable strategy for designing the electrospun separator with improved performance.

The piezoelectric properties are closely related to the properties of photocatalytic membrane in water environment. Here, a self-polarized g-C 3 N 4 /MoO 3 /PVDF-TrFE membrane with high piezoelectricity was synthesized using a facile spin-coating strategy. In the presence of a low-speed water flow, a stabilized photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (538.8 µmol g -1 h −1 ) was obtained for the g-C 3 N 4 /MoO 3 /PVDF-TrFE membrane. Experimental results revealed that the g-C 3 N 4 /MoO 3 induced a reorganization of PVDF-TrFE structure and thereby enlarged the polarization electric field to promote the directional migration of charge carriers and exciton dissociation. Additionally, pressure current test demonstrated that under the same pressure conditions, g-C 3 N 4 /MoO 3 /PVDF-TrFE exhibited a higher response than PVDF-TrFE. This work establishes a new method for the polarization electric field and provides a deeper understanding of the hydrogen evolution mechanism.

The increasing demand for light and comfort smart wearable devices has promoted the cross-integration of textile technology with nanomaterials and nanotechnology. As a potential candidate with excellent piezoelectricity, PVDF has been processed into different forms used for flexible sensors but shows limited practicality due to their discomfort and stiffness from non-yarn level. In this study, PVDF/BN nanofiber yarns (NFYs) were successfully fabricated via conjugated electrospinning. The effects of BN concentration, stretching temperature, and stretching ratio on the structural morphology and mechanical performance of the NFYs were systematically investigated. The results show that under the stretching temperature of 140 °C and stretching ratios of 3.5, smooth 1% PVDF/BN NFYs with highly oriented inner nanofibers can be successfully fabricated, and the breaking strength and elongation of composite NFYs reached 129.5 ± 8.1 MPa and 22.4 ± 3.8%, respectively, 667% higher than the breaking strength of pure PVDF nanoyarns. Hence, with the selection of appropriate nanofiller amounts and optimized post-treatment process, the structure and mechanical property of PVDF NFYs can be significantly improved, and this study provides an effective strategy to fabricate high-performance nanoyarns, which is favorable to potential applications in wearable electronic devices and flexible piezoelectric sensors.

Modified poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) exhibits excellent electrochemical stability and safety, making it one of the most promising gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) for lithium metal batteries. To further optimize the performance of PVDF-HFP GPEs, N-formylmorpholine is used as a novel high-boiling nonsolvent for PVDF-HFP, and a uniform porous network rich in the β phase is prepared through a nonsolvent induced phase separation method. The optimized PVDF-HFP GPE (PNG10), enriched with the strongly polar β phase, can better promote the dissociation of lithium salts, while the uniform porous network provides the necessary conditions for the uniform distribution and conduction of ions, optimizing the electrode/electrolyte interface. As a result, the PNG10 GPEs achieves a simultaneous enhancement of ionic conductivity (1.32 × 10 −3 S cm −1 ) and lithium-ion transference number (0.82). Moreover, the Li|PNG10|LiFePO 4 cells demonstrate excellent long-term cycling stability and rate performance. The study highlights the importance of high-throughput porous network structures in the design of GPEs.

In the context of the ongoing development of artificial intelligence and 5G technologies, a growing number of sensors are being integrated into the daily lives. Self-powered wearable sensors based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) represent an innovative solution to this trend, but the output performance of the flexible TENGs remains suboptimal. In this study, the band-matched calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are prepared to form CaTiO 3 /ZnO (CTO/ZnO) Schottky heterojunctions. The heterojunctions are subsequently doped into organic ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to create flexible composite film, which significantly increases the dielectric constant through space charge polarization. Then the CTO/ZnO-PVDF composite films served as triboelectric materials of the CaTiO 3 /ZnO-PVDF-based TENG (CZP-TENG). After optimizing the molar ratio of ZnO to CTO in heterojunction and weight ratio of CTO/ZnO in PVDF, both the output voltage and current density of the TENG are significantly improved, exhibiting a power density of 106.6 mW m −2 . Finally, the CZP-TENG powers light–emitting diodes and a temperature sensor, serves as a wearable sensor, and enables self-powered human body sensing, particularly in gait recognition for preventing of movement-related diseases and injury rehabilitation.

The choice of dielectric fillers and structure design play an important role in improving the energy storage properties of polymer-based nanocomposites. In this work, a class of sandwich-structured poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based nanocomposites with an insulating layer containing 1D NaNbO3@SiO2 nanowires was prepared using simple casting and hot-pressing methods. 1D NaNbO3 nanowires coated with a SiO2 insulating layer were introduced into the polymer matrix to form a central layer, which has high insulation and low dielectric permittivity. Consequently, the sandwich-structured nanocomposites with 9 vol% 0D BaTiO3 nanoparticles and 1 vol% 1D NaNbO3@SiO2 nanowires exhibit a high discharge energy density of ∼20 J cm−3 at 450 MV m−1 as well as a high discharge efficiency of 75%, indicating a combination of high energy density and high efficiency compared with the systems of all-polymer composites or polymer-based nanocomposites. The dielectric analyses and simulation results indicate that the improved energy storage density and discharge efficiency are attributed to the effect of insulating layers containing 1D NaNbO3@SiO2 nanowires. The findings of this work demonstrate that introducing insulating layers containing 1D nanofillers with high insulation and low permittivity can have a positive effect in improving energy storage performance of dielectric polymer-based nanocomposites.

Deep oil-water emulsions separation is a challenging task for oily wastewater treatment . Herein, a superwettable nanofibrous membrane was fabricated using the integrated method of electrospinning, microwave-assisted growth, and in-situ polymerization. The membrane possessed superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity due to the presence of hierarchical rough structures and hydrophilic particles and polymers. The nanofibrous membrane exhibited robust oil-water separation performances for surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsions and different types of surfactant-stabilized emulsions ( e.g. , SDBS , CTAB and Tween 80) solely under the effect of gravity. The membrane achieved a separation efficiency of >99.94% for surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsions with a flux of 3563.0 L m −2 h −1 . The efficiency was above 98.90% with a flux of 1112.5 L m −2 h −1 for SDBS-stabilized oil-in-water emulsion solely under the effect of gravity. The membrane exhibited long-term oil-water separation efficiencies of above 97.0%. Moreover, the membrane showed remarkable stability and can maintain underwater superoleophobicity under different harsh conditions, which is key for large-scale oily wastewater treatment applications.

The DCMD technology for wastewater treatment is very promising. However, it is easily suffered by membrane fouling and wetting. In this study, a Janus membrane was fabricated by coating polyvinylamine (PVAM) and gallic acid (GA) onto one side of a PVDF composite membrane, which another side is covered with POTS-SiO 2 . The PVAM and GA side could bind water to form a hydration layer, thus repel the contaminants. The POTS-SiO 2 side was superhydrophobicity and prevented the membrane wetting. Finally, The Janus membrane presented exceptional performance in separating salt containing emulsified oil by DCMD. It kept a stable flux of 17.0 ± 0.2 Kg·m −2 ·h −1 and a low level conductivity of 0.60 ± 0.02 μS/cm in the cold side during the 36 h DCMD procedure, compared with the pristine PVDF membrane and the PVDF/POTS-SiO 2 membrane. The results presented simultaneously antifouling and antiwetting properties of the Janus membrane. While the Janus membrane can be well used in desalination of emulsified oil containing salt, it has a great potential for application to treat other complex wastewater.

Recently, heterogeneous catalysts prepared by two phase metals were commonly used to activate PMS degradation. However, the synergistic effects of Zn and other metals on the activation of PMS were infrequently studied. In this work, novel PVDF@TA-ZIF-67/8 nanofibers were prepared successfully by first mineralization and then in-situ growth. The prepared PTZ70 exhibited an evidently higher photocatalytic activity than PVDF, PTC, PTZ0, PTZ10 and PTZ100 to degradation OFX (96.5 %). The effects of the mass ratio of Co and Zn, PMS dosage, coexisting ions and organic solvents on the degradation of OFX were concretely investigated. The radical trapping experiment and mechanism analysis showed that the synergistic effect of Co and Zn played a key role in PMS activation, accelerating the generation of 1 O 2 and •O 2 – . Combining the discussion of influencing factors and LC-MS analysis, four OFX degradation pathways were illustrated. In particular, we observed that the degradation OFX of PTZ70 was only slightly reduced by 5.6 % after five cycling, indicating the reusability, good stability and high environmental suitability of PTZ70 performance . This study offers a novel path for the design of catalytic membranes with controllable heterogeneous metal doping.

Energetic interfacial films represent a promising encapsulation material for micro- thruster arrays in near-Earth orbit, where their combustion performance under low- pressure or vacuum conditions is critical for practical application. Herein, a uniformly dispersed layered energetic composite film suitable for scalable array encapsulation has been designed via electrospinning technology. The ternary composite energetic film consists of interwoven polyvinylidene fluoride/aluminum/copper oxide (PVDF/Al/CuO) nanofibers. Morphological analysis confirms the effective loading of nanoparticles (Al and CuO) onto the fibers. Energetic films fabricated by this method significantly suppress particle agglomeration. Thermal analysis reveals atmosphere-dependent exothermic pathways. Constant-volume combustion experiments demonstrate that energy release is modulated by film thickness. The evolution of the film ablation flow field has been investigated. Crucially, transient resistance thermometry has for the first time reported the phenomenon of increasing ignition temperature of energetic materials with decreasing pressure under low-pressure conditions. At 1 kPa, the ignition temperature is significantly elevated compared to that at atmospheric pressure. Propagation velocity characterization uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon: below 10 kPa, 610 μm-thick films exhibit a 42% lower propagation velocity than 270 μm-thick films, a phenomenon termed the thickness-compensation failure effect. An asymmetric heat transfer-dissipation theory is proposed to explain this inversion through geometric thermal management. This work provides crucial experimental evidence and a theoretical foundation for guiding the design of energetic films for vacuum-operating micro-thruster array encapsulation.

The functional design of separators has been proved to be one of the most efficient methods to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium–sulfur batteries. In this work, a multifunctional separator with gradual changes to four aspects was constructed by integrating a PVDF-HFP/h-BN membrane with a Co-doped carbon nanofiber. The architecture has four gradations, which offers multifold advantages. First, in terms of density, there is a transition from loose to dense, which results in a higher electrolyte uptake rate, reduces the amount of free electrolyte and further suppresses the shuttle effect. Additionally, in terms of composition, a transition from inorganic to organic is designed, which allows the inorganic and organic components to bind closely and reduces the interfacial resistance. Meanwhile, there is a transition from high electronic conductivity to insulation. The change in electronic conductivity leads to effective conversion of the polysulfide. Finally, in terms of ionic conductivity, there is a transition from low to high, which gives the separator better ability to conduct lithium ions. As a consequence, a battery with the as-constructed multifunctional separator performs with good capacity stability, which demonstrates a new concept for high-performance lithium–sulfur battery design.
