Herein, a multifunctional poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/mica nanosheet composite (PMNC) thin film was developed for preparing a capacitive and piezoelectric force sensor. A high electroactive γ-phase content (89%) of PVDF was achieved through a facile rapid cooling process of PMNC films. The crystallinity of PVDF decreased upon the addition of mica nanosheets, while the dielectric constant increased significantly (∼300%). The capacitance-based PMNC pressure sensor was found to be sensitive to the applied pressure. On the other hand, piezoelectric voltages of 18 V (single layer) and 32 V (multi-layer) were generated for PMNCs loaded with 1% mica nanosheets. Furthermore, a PMNC based nanogenerator generated a power density of 8.8 μW cm and showed excellent durability (>60 000 cycles). High flexibility, lightweight and skin-friendly PMNCs could be a potential material in applications such as energy harvesting, energy storage, actuators, and self-powered and smart wearable electronic devices.
在此,开发了一种多功能聚偏二氟乙烯(PVDF)/云母纳米片复合材料(PMNC)薄膜,用于制备电容式和压电力传感器。通过PMNC薄膜的简便快速冷却工艺,实现了PVDF的高电活性γ相含量(89%)。添加云母纳米片后,PVDF的结晶度降低,而介电常数显著增加(约300%)。基于电容的PMNC压力传感器被发现对施加的压力敏感。另一方面,对于负载1%云母纳米片的PMNC,产生了18 V(单层)和32 V(多层)的压电电压。此外,基于PMNC的纳米发电机产生的功率密度为8.8 μW/cm²,并且表现出优异的耐久性(>60000次循环)。高柔韧性、轻质且对皮肤友好的PMNC可能成为能量收集、能量存储、致动器以及自供电和智能可穿戴电子设备等应用中的潜在材料。
