The NASICON-type ceramic Li 1·5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO4) 3 (LAGP) electrolyte has been proposed as the most competitive candidates of electrolyte materials toward solid-state Li metal batteries (LMBs) by reason of its high ionic conductivity , cyclic stability under extreme temperatures and wide voltage window. However, poor interface contact, high interfacial resistance and intractable mechanical properties greatly limit its practical applications. In this work, an inorganic-polymer “LAGP in PVDF” quasi-solid-state electrolyte (QSSE) is developed via solution casting method, in which pyr14TFSI ionic liquid (IL) and LiTFSI are combined as functional wetting interface . Benefiting from the coherent interaction of LAGP nanoparticles incorporated into the polymer matrix , and inherent protection of IL, the overall performance of the optimized QSSE include thermal stability, dense structure, flexibility and electrochemical properties . The XRD, SEM, XPS tests demonstrate that the IL using as a solid/electrolyte modified interlayer can enhance Li + transport, interfacial infiltration and homogenize lithium deposition. The LiFePO 4 |PL-25LAGP|Li solid-state battery presents an excellent circulation performance under ambient temperature, which displayed an initial discharge specific capacity of 146.8 mAh g −1 at 0.5C and capacity retention of 96.25 % after 150 cycles. The flexibility PL-LAGP CSE shows superior safety and greater development potential for the “LAGP in PVDF” composite electrolyte in solid state LMBs.

Molecularly imprinted templates for L -Tryptophan sensor using hydrophilic poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) was fabricated through in-situ polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) within PVDF matrix. The work proposes a novel strategy for the integration of antifouling layer modification for water treatment technique into molecular imprinting polymer for surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor fabrication and demonstrates their effective utilization in direct biological applications . The L -Tryptophan templates were carefully prepared on the delay line area of a SAW device prepared through photolithographic method internally. The imprinted template was qualitatively analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to understand the bond formation and distribution of imprinted textures on the receptor surface. Quantitative measurements as the L -Tryptophan receptor was conducted through SAW analysis within range of concentration 0.5–150 ng/ml and the sensor responded linearly with the varying concentration. The limit of detection and limit of quantification calculated to be 0.2 and 0.6 ng/ml, respectively. The mechanism of adsorption was further studied using Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson adsorption isotherm . The MIP modified SAW sensor had high selectivity in the presence of structural analogues such as D- tryptophan, ascorbic acid , leucine and tyrosine. The hydrophilic PVDF coated MIP-SAW sensor exhibited relatively high imprinting factor towards L -tryptophan of about 9.34.

Membrane fouling is one of the major blockages toward the further sustained development of membrane technology . In this work, PVDF/NH 2 -MIL-88B(Fe) (PVDF/NM88B) membranes were prepared for the first time via one-step simple non-solvent induced phase conversion method. The PVDF/NM88B membrane shows an excellent separation performance (above 99.4%) and permeation flux (340–1970 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) towards different oil/water emulsions. Moreover, PVDF/NM88B membrane exhibits excellent antifouling performance with flux recovery ratio of almost 100% attributing to hydrophilicity and high photo-Fenton activity of NM88B. In addition, the membrane with good mechanical properties and recyclability shows great application potential in wastewater treatment . This work may shine a new light on the promising photo-Fenton self-cleaning prospect of Fe-based MOFs in constructing antifouling membranes for wastewater remediation and potential applications.

A highly uniform, heterogeneous-phase composite separator is synthesized by a direct post-solidation process from the mixture of nano-SiO 2 /acetone monodisperse suspension and poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF- co -HFP)/acetone gel, without any organic surfactants. This technique leads to the PVDF- co -HFP/SiO 2 composite separator outstanding microstructural uniformity. The incorporation of SiO 2 nanoparticles leads to reduced crystallinity (≈27%), enhanced wettability (≈14%), improved electrolyte uptake (≈420%), and enhanced mechanical strength (>14 MPa) of the composite separator. These enhanced properties of the separator translate into remarkable LiFePO 4 /Li battery performance with reduced polarization, a high room-temperature capacity of 165 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C, a high thermal dimensional stability (≈4.5% shrinkage after annealing at 160 °C for 1 h) and 5.2% capacity degradation after 1500 charge/discharge cycles at 2 C.

In this study, a nonsolvent thermally-induced phase separation (NTIPS) method was first proposed to fabricate hydrophilically-modified poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes to overcome the drawbacks of conventional thermally-induced phase separation (TIPS) and nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) methods. Hydrophilically-modified PVDF membranes were successfully prepared by blending in hydrophilic polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) at 140 °C. A series of PVDF/PVA blend membranes was prepared at different total polymer concentrations and blend ratios. The morphological analysis via SEM indicated that the formation mechanism of these hydrophilically-modified membranes was a combined NIPS and TIPS process. As the total polymer concentration increased, the tensile strength of the membranes increased; meanwhile, the membrane pore size, porosity and water flux decreased. With the PVDF/PVA blend ratio increased from 10:0 to 8:2, the membrane pore size and water flux increased. The dynamic water contact angle of these membranes showed that the hydrophilic properties of PVDF/PVA blend membranes were prominently improved. The higher hydrophilicity of the membranes resulted in reduced membrane resistance and, hence, higher permeability. The total resistanceRtof the modified PVDF membranes decreased significantly as the hydrophilicity increased. The irreversible fouling related to pore blocking and adsorption fouling onto the membrane surface was minimal, indicating good antifouling properties.Keywords:nonsolvent thermally-induced phase separation (NTIPS);PVDF/PVA blend membrane;hydrophilic modification;membrane resistance;antifouling property

As one of the components of the lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the separator plays a vital part in the safety and electrochemical performance. In this work, a ZrO 2 -ceramic-coated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous separator for LIBs was successfully prepared by electrospinning, subsequent dopamine hydrophilic modification and biomimetic mineralization process. These preparation processes were environmentally friendly and simple. The ZrO 2 -ceramic coating endows the separator with outstanding electrolyte wettability and thermal stability. To be specific, the separator exhibits higher ionic conductivity (2.261 mS cm −1 ), high porosity (85.1%) and favorable electrolyte wettability (352%), and lower interfacial impedance (220 Ω). Compared with commercial polyolefin separator and PVDF nanofibrous separator, the ZrO 2 -ceramic-coated PVDF nanofibrous separator exhibits excellent rate performance and well cyclic stability. Most importantly the ZrO 2 –PDA/PEI–PVDF separator can still maintain a complete structure even at a high temperature of 300 °C. Compared with commercial separators, it greatly improves the safety of lithium ion batteries at high temperature. Therefore, this separator has far-reaching prospects for improving lithium ion safety and cycle stability.

The treatment of various oily wastewaters generated in human production and life has been a huge challenge in recent years. Responsive materials for controlled wettability surface have a great potential for oil-water separation. Inspired by the superior pH-responsive of poly (2-( N, N′ -dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), a pH-responsive self-cleaning PVDF ultrafiltration membrane containing both carboxyl and tertiary amine groups were prepared by a simple grafting and co-blending method. The membrane fabrication process consisted of introducing 3-Dimethylaminopropylamine (DMPA) into the SMA side chain, resulting in the creation of the amphiphilic polymer DMPA@SMA. This polymer was then mixed with PVDF to produce DMPA@SMA/PVDF membranes. The optimized DMPA@SMA/PVDF membranes showed excellent superhydrophilicity/underwater superhydrophobicity, with a water contact angle of 0° and an underwater oil contact angle higher than 150° for crude oil. These endowed the as prepared membrane with a high pure water flux of 852 L·m −2 ·h −1 and anti-crude-oil-adhesion property. The separation efficiency exceeded 98% for various surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions, whether it’s positively charged emulsion or negatively charged emulsion. More interestingly, the carboxyl and tertiary amine groups presented the membrane with pH responsivity, and the membrane surface can be triggered by acid or alkali with self-cleaning performance. Strategy proposed in the present work offers a convenient and effective way to prepare membranes treating oil-in-water emulsions with either negative or positive charges.

Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have attracted extensive attention in lithium-ion batteries due to their high security and excellent electrochemical performance. However, their inferior Li-ion transference number, low room-temperature ionic conductivity, and poor long cycle stability raise challenges in practical applications. Herein, a flexible poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-butanedinitrile (PVDF-HFP-SN)-based GPE (PSGPE) is synthesized successfully by a general immersion precipitation method. The resultant PSGPEs have numerous connecting pores to ensure sufficient space for liquid electrolytes. Moreover, the reduced crystallinity of PVDF-HFP and the high polarity of SN can reduce the energy barrier of Li-ions shuttling between pores. The synergistic effect possesses a high ionic conductivity of 1.35 mS·cm −1 at room temperature with a high Li-ion transference number of 0.69. The PVDF-HFP-SN-based GPE is applied in a LiFePO 4 /graphite battery, which can realize stable cycling performance for 350 cycles and good rate performance at room temperature. These results demonstrate that the novel PSGPE possesses advantage in simplified production process, which can improve the practicability of gel polymer lithium-ion batteries.

Piezocatalysis can be used to harvest widely existing and renewable mechanical vibrations in the environment to convert mechanical energy into chemical energy, which is employed in various important applications, and typically, the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/graphene composite piezocatalyst is used because of its recyclability, flexibility, and easy preparation. However, its poor piezocatalytic performance, primarily attributed to the wrapped graphene in the PVDF matrix that prevents the generated charges from fully accessing pollutants, remains a challenge. Herein, we use phase conversion and the “self-assembly strategy” to prepare a sandwich film called PVDF-hexafluoropropylene@reduced graphene oxide (PVDF-HFP@rGO) with PVDF-HFP as the interlayer and rGO as the outer layer to fully expose rGO. Under magnetic stirring at 600 rpm, the degradation efficiency of PVDF-HFP@rGO toward methylene blue reaches ∼98% within 60 min, higher than those of the traditional composite film (∼75%) and pure PVDF-HFP film (∼8.0%). The charge supply by rGO, piezoelectric field provision by PVDF-HFP, and advantage of the sandwich structure are verified through contrast experiments under different conditions such as changing rGO band structures, varying PVDF-HFP interlayer thicknesses, and using different layer structures, respectively. Therefore, the enhanced piezocatalytic performance of the sandwich structure provides new insights into the structural design of high-performance PVDF/graphene composite piezocatalysts.

Dielectric capacitor is an important component of power systems , but its low dielectric polarization and undesirable dielectric loss have still held back the development of miniaturized microelectronic devices. Hence, we reported core@shell structured fillers with a conducting material@insulating material double-shell to improve the dielectric performance of the poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites. The hybrid fillers introducing ultra-short carbon nanotube (SSCNT) as an inner layer between BaTiO 3 (BT) as a core and silica (SiO 2 ) as an outer shell were synthesized. As the thickness of the insulating shell is enough thin, the BT@SSCNT@SiO 2 /PVDF composites exhibit an enhanced dielectric constant and a concurrently suppressed dielectric loss with the decreasing thickness. The composite incorporating the filler with the thinnest SiO 2 shell has the highest dielectric constant of 12.27 and the lowest dielectric loss of 0.023 at 20 wt% filler loading where the breakdown strength is about 15 less than the maximum value of 192.5 kV/mm. Furthermore, the hybrid fillers endow the composites with impressively stable dependence on frequency in a wide range of 10 2 ∼10 5 Hz. The achievement can be ascribed to the conducting property of the SSCNT inner layer and the suitable thickness of the insulating outer layer. They can synergetically provide the composites with an optimized polarization effect at a broad frequency resulting from the improved electrical field. This work reveals that a proper structure of the core@conducting material@insulating material core@double-shell filler can be an approach to optimize the overall dielectric performance of the polymer-based composites with high energy storage density .

The polymeric composite films incorporating inorganic lead halide perovskite quantum dots (CsPbX 3 QDs, X = Cl, Br or I) are promising color conversion layers for wide gamut display devices such as Mini-LED backlight-based televisions. However, the relatively low emission efficiency and poor stability of these composite films present significant challenges for practical applications. In this study, we present a novel low-temperature in-situ crystallization strategy to prepare CsPbBr 3 /PVDF composite film through a rational designed of precursor, solvent and polymer structure. The strong interaction between PVDF and perovskite QDs via Lewis acid-base interaction allows for precise control over the crystallization and passivation of perovskite QDs. The optimized CsPbBr 3 /PVDF film exhibits bright emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 70 %, surpassing those of other CsPbBr 3 /polymers counterparts. Furthermore, the films demonstrate remarkable stability, retaining over 90 % of their original PLQY even after 50 days of aging under various environmental conditions such as exposure to air, immersion in water and blue light irradiation. By integrating the green and red emissive CsPbX 3 /PVDF films with blue Mini-LEDs, we successfully fabricate a prototype liquid crystal display (LCD) with an outstanding wide color gamut (128 % of NTSC 1931). These performances outperform that of commercial white-LED-based LCDs, highlighting the immense potential of CsPbX 3 /PVDF for high-definition display applications in the future.
