Nanofibers based on polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene/poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P(VDF-TrFE)/P3HT) containing copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were fabricated using the electrospinning technique. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed smooth, bead-free solid nanofibers of 34-100 nm diameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows the ferroelectric β phase of P(VDF-TrFE) with a wide diffraction pattern. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of the P(VDF-TrFE) fiber film revealed distinct peaks for the polar β phase, aromatic C-H groups, and alkyl groups. Semiconducting P3HT/CuO increases the dielectric constant of P(VDF-TrFE), inducing polarization at the semiconductor-insulator interface. Two types of dielectric response are observed: β-phase rotation and α to β phase transition. The bulk resistance values show a reduction from 224.5 to 23.8 Ω, suggesting more conductive pathways. Furthermore, incorporating P3HT/CuO into P(VDF-TrFE) enhanced its electrical conductivity from 3.75 × 10 to 3.40 × 10 S m. This investigation showed that P3HT/CuO-enhanced P(VDF-TrFE) is a viable option for energy harvesting.
采用静电纺丝技术制备了基于聚偏氟乙烯 - 三氟乙烯/聚(3 - 己基噻吩)(P(VDF - TrFE)/P3HT)并含有氧化铜纳米颗粒(CuO NPs)的纳米纤维。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)图像显示出直径为34 - 100纳米的光滑、无珠的实心纳米纤维。X射线衍射(XRD)分析表明P(VDF - TrFE)的铁电β相具有宽衍射图案。P(VDF - TrFE)纤维膜的傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱显示出极性β相、芳族C - H基团和烷基的明显峰。半导体P3HT/CuO增加了P(VDF - TrFE)的介电常数,在半导体 - 绝缘体界面处诱导极化。观察到两种类型的介电响应:β相旋转和α到β相转变。体电阻值从224.5Ω降低到23.8Ω,表明有更多的导电路径。此外,将P3HT/CuO掺入P(VDF - TrFE)中使其电导率从3.75×10提升到3.40×10 S m。这项研究表明,P3HT/CuO增强的P(VDF - TrFE)是一种可行的能量收集选择。
