Polymer dielectric composites have widespread applications in many fields ranging from energy storage, microelectronic devices, and sensors to power driven systems, etc. and attract much attention of researchers. However, it is still challenging to prepare advanced polymer dielectric composites with a high dielectric constant (ε′), low dielectric loss (tan δ) and simultaneously high breakdown strength (Ebd). In this work, conductive polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles were in situ synthesized in a reaction system containing the common barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) or hydroxylated BaTiO3 (BTOH) particles, and then the PPy@BT and PPy@BTOH composite particles were incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to prepare the composites. The morphologies and microstructures of the PPy@BT and PPy@BTOH composite particles and the corresponding PVDF composites were comparatively investigated. The results showed that the PPy@BTOH composite particles had a ‘mulberry’-like morphology with a rough surface and the self-assembled structure could be maintained in the PVDF composites, which was apparently different from the PVDF/PPy@BT composites, in which most of the PPy nanoparticles dissociatively dispersed in the PVDF matrix. Electrical conductivity measurements showed that at high particle content (≥20 wt%), the PPy@BTOH composite particles endowed the composites with lower electrical conductivity compared with the PPy@BT composite particles. Dielectric property measurements showed that the ‘mulberry’-like PPy@BTOH composite particles endowed the PVDF composites with extremely high ε′, ultralow tan δ and high Ebd compared with the PVDF/PPy@BT composites with dissociatively dispersed PPy nanoparticles and BaTiO3 particles. The polarization and loss mechanisms of the composites were then proposed based on the morphologies and the microstructures of the composites. This work provides an alternative way to fabricate functional dielectric particles through trace functional groups inducing in situ polymerization of conductive polymers, and these particles can be used to fabricate advanced dielectric composites.

Utilizing surface polarization to improve the separation efficiency of photoinduced carriers is considered to be an effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity. Herein, a novel nonprecious metal-based P-doped g-C3N4 (PCN)/polyaniline (PANI)/BaTiO3 (BTO) (PPB) ternary photocatalyst with a hollow architecture was rationally designed and prepared by a combined wet-chemical and thermal treatment strategy. Except for the Z-scheme involved in PCN and PANI, the vertical polarization provided by ferroelectric BTO further improved the separation efficiency of the photoinduced charge carrier, resulting in an enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of 602 μmol h−1 g−1, which was 21-fold higher than that of pristine g-C3N4, and an apparent quantum efficiency of 4.16% at 420 nm. In addition, benefitting from this ternary heterojunction, the photoinduced electrons were concentrated on the intermediate p-type PANI while holes were left on the lateral n-type PCN involved in the Z-scheme, resulting in the retention of high oxidation–reduction potentials. Moreover, this approach to enhance the photocatalytic activity by constructing a Z-scheme heterojunction and surface polarization could expand to other photosystems, which provides a new avenue for the rational design and the synthesis of novel photocatalysts.

A sandwich-structured composite consisted of a pure poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)) central layer and two BaTiO3–P(VDF-HFP) neighboring layers was developed for high energy storage density. The sandwiched structure effectively enhanced dielectric properties and energy storage capacity of the composites. Breakdown strength and energy storage density of the composite with 35 vol% P(VDF-HFP) central layer reached 315 kV mm−1 and 5.22 J cm−3, which were enhanced by 68% and 125% compared to 187 kV mm−1 and 2.32 J cm−3 of the single layer composite, respectively. The dielectric constant of the composites with sandwich-structure was approximately 3 times higher than the pure P(VDF-HFP) and the dielectric loss was as low as 0.026 at 1 kHz. These results demonstrated that the sandwich-structured ceramics/polymer composite was an effective way to produce high energy density composites.

With the increasing demand for the miniaturization, high capacitance and high reliability of the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC), the thickness of single dielectric layer is less than 1 μm and the original partical size of the powder has reached the scale less than 300 nm. In this paper, BaTiO 3 powder of various partical sizes (150–500 nm) was modified with Dy and Ho through a chemical coating method. The dense and uniform ceramics in accordance with EIA X7R-type temperature stability were sintered under low oxygen partial pressure and good dielectric properties of dielectric constant >2000 and dielectric loss <1% were obtained. The grain size effect on the dielectric properties under various dc-bias field were systematically investigated. It is found that the fine-grain ceramic exhibits a lower absolute change of the dielectric constant and a higher dc-bias stability. Furthermore, the modified 150 nm BaTiO 3 powders was made into 1210-type MLCCs, and the dielectric behavior of the MLCCs with different dc-fields and ac-fields were study over −55 °C–125 °C. It is found that the ac electric field had a greater influence on the dielectric properties at room temperature and below, and the dielectric constant variation under a dc-bias field was also greatly advanced for the modified fine-grain MLCCs. The results provide a reference for the design of the next generation of BME-MLCCs.

In many studies, the properties of BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 (BF–BT) ceramics vary greatly using different raw reagents, which makes it challenging to obtain reliable and repeatable properties of BF–BT-based devices. In this work, 0.7BiFeO 3 –0.3BaTiO 3 (0.7BF–0.3BT) ceramics were fabricated by a conventional solid-phase synthesis using TiO 2 reagents with varied purities of 98%, 99%, 99.9%, and 99.99%, respectively. The phase structure, microstructure, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties were comprehensively studied. All compositions of the ceramics exhibit a pseudo-cubic phase perovskite structure, and the fraction of the rhombohedral phase increases with increasing the TiO 2 purity. Additionally, backscattered electron images and energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed an obvious core–shell structure within grains. In particular, the 0.7BF–0.3BT ceramics prepared with 98% purity TiO 2 exhibited superior ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties, d 33 ∼ 220 pC/N and d 33 ∗ $d_{{\mathrm{33}}}^{\;*}$ ∼ 230 pm/V. The ceramics prepared with higher purity TiO 2 suffered from severe leakage conduction, which can be well addressed by adding excess TiO 2 . Our work reveals the importance of different grades of purity TiO 2 on the electrical properties of BF–BT ceramics.

This work offers a strategy for combining ceramic and conductive fillers to produce composites with high dielectric properties and breakdown strength through a novel core@shell structure. First, we successfully attached barium titanate (BT) nanoparticles to the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by sol-gel method. Hyperbranched aromatic polyamide (HB-Pa) was grafted from the surface of BT-attached MWCNTs via in suit polymerization to obtain HB-Pa/BT composite-coated MWCNTs (H-B@CNTs). After the hybrid powders were compounded with epoxy resin (EP), composites with high dielectric properties were prepared. The H-B@CNTs/EP composite exhibited a dielectric constant of 110, a dielectric loss of 0.28 (1 kHz) and a breakdown strength of 6.7 kV/mm at 20 wt % MWCNTs content. The results indicated that we could tailor the dielectric properties of composites by adjusting the amount of BT nanoparticles on the surface of MWCNTs. In addition, HB-Pa played multiple roles in this system: (i) preventing BT nanoparticles from falling off the surface of MWCNTs; (ii) increasing the dispersibility and interaction of fillers in the polymer matrix ; (iii) preventing MWCNTs from overlapping one another to form a conductive network to effectively improve the breakdown strength of composites.

The (1 − x ) Bi (Fe 0.9 Al 0.05 Yb 0.05 ) O 3 – x BaTiO 3 (BFAYO- x BTO) ceramics were synthesized by microwave sintering (MWS) and conventional sintering (CS) methods. The crystal structure, surface morphology, dielectric and ferroelectric properties were investigated. XRD patterns show that BTO tetragonal and BFO rhombohedral phases coexist in both MWS and CS samples, and that the diffraction peaks of MWS samples shift to lower angles due to the larger ionic radius of Ba 2+ compared with Bi 3+ . The lattice constant of BFAYO- x BTO ceramics increases with the increase of BTO content. It was found that the average grain size of the MWS ceramic is much smaller than that of the CS ceramic. Dielectric measurements reveal that the dielectric loss and dielectric constant increase with BTO content increasing. The introduction of BTO into BFAYO-based ceramic contribute to the enhancement of the dielectric relaxation behavior. The P – E hysteresis loops demonstrate that the remnant polarization ( P r ) and the coercive field ( E C ) of the MWS samples are smaller than those of the CS samples. P r and E C first increase, then decrease and then increase again with the increase of BTO content. The maximum and minimum values of the remnant polarization were obtained at x = 0.25 and 0.3, respectively.

Amorphous thin films have widely study due to the excellent breakdown strength and energy storage efficiency in recent years. However, there still exist enormous challenges for practical application due to relatively low polarization and energy density. Herein, we propose a multi variable valence ions doping strategy to enhance the energy storage performance of BaTiO 3 -based amorphous thin films. The Ba 0.92 Bi 0.08 Ti 1-x (Ni 0.5 Mn 0.5 ) x O 3 (BBTNM) amorphous thin films were fabricated by chemical solution deposition method. In addition, the synergistic effects of variable valence ions (Ni, Mn) on the microstructure, dielectric and energy storage properties of the films were systematically studied. Compared with the undoped Ba 0.92 Bi 0.08 TiO 3 (BBT) film, the polarization and energy storage performance of the BBTNM film have been significantly improved owing to the defect dipoles generated by the incorporation of variable valence ions. Notably,a high discharge energy density of 93.3 J/cm 3 together with energy efficiency of 83 % could be achieved in the x=0.08 film at 7.05 MV/cm. Simultaneously, the film exhibits excellent thermal stability within the range of 20 °C to 160 °C, and still maintains favorable performance after 10 5 cycling. Overall, this work introduces a new approach for designing BaTiO 3 -based thin film materials.

Dielectric substances exhibit great potential for high-power capacitors due to their high stability and fast charge–discharge; however, a long-term challenge is to enhance energy density. Here, we propose a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite utilizing BaTiO 3 nanoparticle@TiO 2 nanosheet (BT@TO ns) 2D nanohybrids as fillers, aiming at combining the interfacial strategy of using a core–shell filler and the electron scattering of a 2D filler to improve the energy density. With 4 wt% filler, the composite possesses the largest breakdown strength ( E b ) of 561.2 MV m −1 , which is significantly enhanced from the 407.6 MV m −1 of PVDF, and permittivity of 12.6 at 1 kHz, which is a 23% increase from that of PVDF. A superhigh energy density of 21.3 J cm −3 with an efficiency of 61% is obtained at 550 MV m −1 . The 2D BT@TO ns-filled composite exhibits a higher energy density than composites filled with core–shell 1D BT@TO nws or non-core–shell 0D BT, 1D TO, or 2D TO particles. The E b and energy density improvements are attributed to the buffer layer-based interface engineering and enhanced area scattering of electrons caused by the 2D hybrids, an effect similar to that of a ping-pong paddle to scatter electric field-induced charge migrations in composites. Thus, an effective hybrid strategy is presented for achieving high-performance polymer composites that can be used in energy storage devices.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) suffer from rampant Zn dendrites growth, corrosion and sluggish transport kinetics, all of which have a serious impact on their performance and practical applications. Therefore, porous carbon nanofibers (BTO@PCNFs) loaded with BaTiO 3 nanoparticles (BTO NPs) are constructed as a multifunctional interlayer for stabilizing the Zn anodes. Owing to the synergistic effect of BTO NPs and 3D porous carbon framework, this interlayer can achieve uniform electric field distribution, accelerate Zn 2+ migration, and promote ion flux homogenization, thus leading to uniform Zn deposition. Meanwhile, the BTO@PCNFs interlayer demonstrates excellent anti-corrosion effect, which can effectively prevent the side reactions. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of interlayers, the BTO@PCNFs multifunctional interlayers achieve a comprehensive optimization of the Zn anodes. The BTO@PCNFs-Zn electrode exhibits lower nucleation overpotential (33.5 mV) at 0.5 mA cm −2 . The Zn//Zn symmetrical cell with BTO@PCNFs interlayer exhibits ultra-low overpotential (14 mV) and ultra-long cycle life (5250 h at 0.5 mA cm −2 ). Even at high current density (30 mA cm −2 ), the BTO@PCNFs-Zn electrode can be stably cycled for more than 830 h, achieving an ultra-high cumulative capacity of 12 450 mAh cm −2 . The multifunctional interlayers can provide a reference for the design of high-performance Zn anodes.

Flexible, lightweight and self-charging power units offer a promising solution to supply sustainable and clean electric energy for various electronic devices. Herein, a type of self-charging composite separator based on the poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) interconnected skeleton and doped BaTiO 3 piezo-nanoparticles is advocated, which can be employed to fabricate flexible self-charging supercapacitors (SCs) assembled with electrodes and applied to efficiently harvest and storage ubiquitous mechanical energy as electrochemical energy. The high-performance separator with interconnected pores not only exhibits enhanced piezoelectric property ( V oc = 190 V, I sc = 58.10 μA), but also possesses superior ionic conductivity of 2.01 × 10 −3 S/cm and mechanical property (breaking tensile stress of 12.14 MPa). Based on the BaTiO 3 /PVDF-TrFE separators, the self-charging supercapacitors can rapidly self-charge from 110 mV to 748 mV in 8.2 s, which also exhibits admirable specific capacitance (36.36 F/g) and superior cycling stability (capacitance retention of 98% after 10,000 cycles). Possessing outstanding electrochemical performance and mechanical property, the innovational separator with superior feasibility and potential application presented here improves a promising versatile electrolyte design strategy for highly-integrated sustainable self-charging power supply.

High dielectric permittivity materials are widely employed in various electronic devices. To satisfy the ongoing miniaturization of electronic devices, materials with further enhanced dielectric permittivities are strongly desired. In this work, a novel design of epoxy composites based on Ag/Al 2 O 3 /3D-BaTiO 3 foams with hierarchical heterogeneous microstructures are prepared. It is found that, the spatial distribution of the Ag particles can be easily controlled via adjusting the Ag + /Al 3+ mole ratios, yielding highly tailorable dielectric properties. When the Ag + /Al 3+ mole ratios are low, the Ag particles are well isolated by surrounding Al 2 O 3 , yielding the formation of numerous equivalent micro-capacitors and substantially enhanced dielectric permittivity. Moreover, the dielectric permittivities of the composites increase with higher Ag + /Al 3+ mole ratios. Consequently, a high dielectric permittivity of 160 @10 kHz, which is about 35 times that of the epoxy matrix, is achieved in the composite with a Ag + /Al 3+ mole ratio of 1.8. Meanwhile, a low tangent of about 0.062 is maintained. As the Ag + /Al 3+ mole ratio increases, the Ag particles become interconnected, forming Ag networks. Consequently, a plasma-like negative phenomenon which should be attributed to the plasma oscillation of free electrons in the percolative Ag networks, is observed. This work offers an effective route to design polymer composites with tailorable high permittivity and negative permittivity.
