Flexible nanocomposite dielectrics with inorganic nanofillers exhibit great potential for energy storage devices in advanced microelectronics applications. However, high loading of inorganic nanofillers in the matrix results in an inhomogeneous electric field distribution, thereby hindering the improvement of the energy storage density (Ue) of the dielectrics. Herein, we proposed a strategy that utilized (00l)-oriented barium titanate (BT) single-crystal platelets to fabricate trilayered nanocomposite dielectrics for energy storage applications. The trilayered nanocomposites consisted of two high-permittivity layers of (Ta2O5, Al2O3) codoped TiO2 nanoparticles (Ta-Al@TiO2 nps) dispersed in a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix to facilitate large electric displacement and a middle layer of (00l)-oriented BT single-crystal platelets to provide high breakdown strength. Hence, the trilayered PVDF/Ta-Al@TiO2 nps/BT single-crystal platelet nanocomposite film attains an outstanding Ue of 16.9 J cm–3 at 370 kV mm–1, which is ∼625% higher than that of the single-layer PVDF/Ta-Al@TiO2 nps film. Finite element simulation further clarified that the successive inner layer of highly (00l)-oriented BT single-crystal platelets could effectively restrain the propagation of electrical treeing in trilayered nanocomposites. This research offers an effective approach for developing flexible dielectric capacitors with an excellent energy storage performance.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymers are considered as promising high energy density capacitor dielectrics because of their high dielectric constants and melt processability. However, their industrialization and practicalization suffer from low breakdown strengths and high leakage conduction losses. Hence, it is of great necessity to develop dielectrics with a high energy storage capability. Herein, we fabricated biaxially oriented nanocomposite PVDF films decorated with ultralow contents of surface-functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by combining melt blending and biaxial orientation technology. The functionalized BNNSs exhibited an ideal horizontal distribution. Both experimental characterization and phase-field simulation validate that the horizontally distributed BNNSs effectively inhibit the propagation of the dielectric breakdown phase and reduce the leakage conduction loss of the composite films. The breakdown field strength of the nanocomposite film doped with only 0.1 wt % functionalized BNNSs reached up to 755.94 MV/m, which is 16.8% higher than that of the pristine biaxially oriented PVDF film. Meanwhile, a maximum discharge energy density of 15.66 J/cm3 was attained, which was 1.57 times that of the pristine counterpart (9.98 J/cm3). This study sheds light on the fundamental understanding of dielectric breakdown behavior of polymer nanocomposites and provides a promising strategy for the scaled-up fabrication of dielectric capacitors with high insulating and low loss properties.

In recent years, research on piezoelectric pressure sensing has attracted worldwide attention, as eagerly demanded by the development of wearable electronics. However, the current piezoelectric pressure sensors are unable to detect forces along different bending directions with a high resolution, thus limiting their applications in some typical scenarios. To address this issue, this study designed a novel composite structure with ZnO nanorods loaded with Ag nanoparticles (ZnONRs@Ag) and then embedded in highly oriented polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers. Due to its unique orientation, the pressure sensor exhibits anisotropy, accurately identifying forces along distinct bending directions (such as perpendicular, parallel, or twisting). The optimized PVDF/ZnONRs@Ag device presents the peak power density of 308.1 nW cm–2 and a sensitivity as high as 0.52 V N–1 and remains stable after 7000 cycles at 1.4 Hz. The highly oriented piezoelectric devices are utilized to monitor various human movements and harvest energy from them. This research provides a viable method for manufacturing self-powered directional pressure sensors, contributing to the advancement of wearable technology and energy harvesting applications.

Au BPs/MXene mixtures were composited with PVDF membranes by vacuum filtration, which enabled the sensitive detection. It combined electromagnetic mechanism and chemical mechanism to achieve a synergistic enhancement of the detection, resulting in a good stability of the SERS substrate. With fluorescent dyes including rhodamine 6G and methylene blue as templates for the SERS sensor, the SERS substrate possessed high sensitivity and reproducibility on account of the strong interactions between the dye molecules and the Au BPs/MXene. In addition, the photochemical performance of the composite membrane material for rhodamine 6G and methylene blue was investigated, which demonstrated the potential of AuBPs/MXene@PVDF membrane for photochemical applications. The study of the SERS detection and photochemical degradation performance of the composite membrane material in different water sources demonstrated that the excellent testing capability of the AuBPs/MXene@PVDF membrane material can be used for reliable and highly sensitive monitoring and application in water environment analysis.

In polymer dielectric energy storage, even polymers with high glass transition temperatures suffer significant degradation in energy storage performance as temperature increases, primarily due to a sharp rise in electrical conduction loss. In this study, we employ atomic layer deposition to coat the surface of a PEI/PVDF blend film with an Al 2 O 3 inorganic layer to enhance its energy storage performance at high temperatures. The influence of the inorganic layer's thickness on high-temperature energy storage performance is thoroughly analyzed. Experimental results and finite element simulations demonstrate that an ultra-thin Al 2 O 3 inorganic layer with the thickness of 50 nm effectively reduces leakage current density and mitigates space charge accumulation within the PEI/PVDF blends, thereby improving the high-temperature energy storage performance of the blends. Notably, under an applied electric field of 500 MV/m at 150 °C, the PEI/PVDF blend film with 50 nm Al 2 O 3 layer achieved a discharge energy density of 5.45 J/cm 3 and a charge-discharge efficiency of 97.75 %.

In order to fully utilize the advantages of expandable graphite (large specific surface area and porous structure), a solvent-free method was used to provide a supporting skeleton for expandable graphite through melting, bonding and solidification of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Based on its porous structure and enhanced mechanical stability, the formed PVDF/expandable graphite composite foam, amounts of functional groups were introduced throughout the foam (outside on the surface and inner side in the expandable graphite) by deposition of tannic acid (TA) and dopamine (DA), endowing it selective adsorption characteristics. The functioned foam exhibited excellent dynamic dye adsorption capacity by capturing dye molecules firmly through π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, and charge attraction between the functional groups and dyes. Furthermore, with low zeta potential (-24.9 mV), the functional groups showed selective adsorption properties resulting in rapid separation of cationic dyes and anionic dyes. The functionalized PVDF/expandable graphite composite foam contact these two materials together in order to complement each other's advantages, showing a new research orientation for the treatment of different types of dyestuff wastewater.

In this paper, the effect of the composition of a nonsolvent bath on the physicochemical properties of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes were comprehensively investigated using the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method. Three additives (ethanol, glycerol, or NaCl) were added to the water coagulation bath respectively to obtain different membranes. It was found that the microstructure of the membranes changed from finger-like structure to the sponge-like structure with the increase of additives concentration, which successfully improved the retention and mechanical properties of the membranes. In addition, the membrane surface became smoother and more hydrophilic. The membrane fabricated in 30 wt% glycerol bath exhibited outstanding comprehensive properties of retention and anti-fouling, with a water flux of 243.5 L/(m 2 h), a bovine serum albumin rejection of more than 90%, and a flux recovery rate of 97%. From mechanism analysis, the addition of ethanol, glycerol, or NaCl to the coagulation bath altered the thermodynamic stability of the polymer system, and slowed down the rate of solvent and nonsolvent diffusion from a kinetic perspective. This research provides important clues for optimizing the membrane properties, such as flux, rejection, and strength.

The development of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) with high energy density and safety is considered a top priority for the next generation of rechargeable batteries. However, the mitigation of the inevitable reaction between lithium and the liquid electrolyte (LE), as well as the subsequent formation of Li dendrites, poses a crucial challenge that needs to be addressed. Upgrading traditional LEs serves as a pivotal strategy in achieving this objective. Here, we report a ZIF-8@SiO 2 /PVDF-HFP (ZSPH) quasi-solid electrolyte (QSE) with ultra-multistage pore crosslinked network structure. The interconnected micro-stage pore structure in a honeycomb-like morphology of polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and the rich multistage pore structure of nanoscale SiO 2 “armored” zeolite imidazolium ester backbone-8 (ZIF-8@SiO 2 ) collectively establish a multi-stage ion transport channel. This unique structure facilitates appreciable ionic conductivity (2.21 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 30 °C) and provides a wide and stable electrochemical window (approximately 5.0 V). The Li/ZSPH9-LiPF 6 /Li quasi-solid-state cell demonstrates an impressive longevity of over 1800 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 . The high compatibility of the interface between electrode and ZSPH QSE and effective inhibition of Li dendrites growth create synergistic effects, which make it possible to realize high energy density and safe LMBs.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are routinely regarded as potential candidates to replace conventional lithium-ion liquid electrolytes due to their high safety and energy density. Poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(vinylidene fluoride)/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PVDF/PEO/LiTFSi) SPEs were prepared by a one-step electrospinning process and utilized in lithium metal batteries in this study. The electrospinning process enhanced the compatibility between PEO and PVDF, and induced the α to β -phase crystalline transition of PVDF. Consequently, the continuity of the conductive phase, the solubility and the migration ability of lithium ions within the polymer matrix were improved. Compared to PEO/PVDF/LiTFSi SPE prepared by a solution casting method, the electrospun SPE exhibited superior electrochemical performances at the same composition, achieving a lithium-ion transference number of 0.64 at room temperature and 0.60 at 60 °C. The assembled LiFePO 4 /SPE/Li cell shows a stable capacity of 112 mAh g −1 with a retaining capacity of 105 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles at the current density of 1 C at 60 °C, and the Coulombic efficiency is 100%.

Developing highly efficient and convenient nanofibrous composites holds great significance for the separation of water-in-oil emulsions. In this paper, we present a reusable porous fiber composite material obtained by using stearoyl chloride modified cellulose and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for electrospinning. The modified cellulose stearyl ester (CSE) enhances the hydrophobicity and lipophilicity of the composites. The PVDF/CSE-8:2 nanofibrous membrane exhibits a water contact angle of up to 155°, a separation flux of up to 2715 L·m −2 ·h −1 , and a separation efficiency of over 97% under gravity for oil-water surfactant-stabilized emulsions. Simultaneously, the interaction between CSE and PVDF improves the mechanical properties of the nanofibrous membrane, with the tensile strength of the PVDF/CSE-8:2 nanofibrous membrane (24.3 MPa) being twice that of pure PVDF. Thus, composite nanofibrous membranes can be environmentally friendly through the use of sustainable, low-cost biomass resources to reduce the use of petroleum-based polymers. These properties give PVDF/CSE nanofibrous membranes great potential for commercial oil-water separation.

Electrically-driven membrane technology plays a crucial role in water treatment and purification, finding applications in various fields like saline water and wastewater desalination, saline concentration and wastewater recycling. The content of this study is based on dually cross-linking and hot-pressing on a PVDF blend, to fabricate a kind of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) having semi-interpenetrating network and thus improve the defect of the traditional heterogeneous AEMs. The research explores the impact of vinyl imidazole (VIM) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomers, primarily or dually cross-linking, and optimizes the membrane properties through a hot-pressing process. Under these optimized conditions, the resulting membranes exhibit robust mechanical properties and outstanding desalination capabilities, achieving an area resistance of 2.56 Ω cm 2 (comparable to standard homogeneous membranes), a desalination rate of 97.26% (outperforming the Neosepta AMX: 76.90%), and a salt limiting concentration of 3.1 M (surpassing the heterogeneous AEM and Neosepta AMX). Notably, this synthesis method is characterized by its cheap raw material and low energy consumption. This research offers valuable insights for the advancement and large-scale implementation of anion exchange membrane desalination.

The PDA/PEI modification technology is commonly employed to improve the resistance to membrane fouling of polymeric membranes used in the treatment of oily wastewater. Nevertheless, the surface characteristics of membrane materials frequently restrict the implementation of the modification technique in terms of both the amount and speed of deposition. The hydrophobic membranes, such as PVDF and PTFE, have a surface with very low surface free energy and only inert functional groups. This surface is not suitable for the deposition of PDA/PEI. This study utilized plasma etching treatment to break the C–H and C–F bonds on the surface of the PVDF membrane, resulting in the introduction of oxygen-containing functional groups. During the deposition process, the PDA/PEI exhibited a tendency to chemically connect to material surfaces that included oxygen-containing functional groups, such as –OH, by processes such as hydrogen bonding. During the modification procedure, the etched membrane experienced an increase in the mass of PDA/PEI deposition and the strength of interfacial bonding. As a result, the modified membrane acquired improved hydrophilicity and anti-fouling performance. In summary, this study offers useful insights for improving the surface properties of hydrophobic polymeric membranes to prevent membrane fouling.
