A series of ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene-trifluoroethylene)s, P(VDF-CTFE-TrFE), with systematically varied chemical compositions have been synthesized via a two-step approach consisting of copolymerization and dechlorination. The effect of polymer structure on polarization responses and dielectric properties has been investigated over a broad frequency and temperature range. As shown in the X-ray diffraction patterns, multiple phases coexist within the terpolymers as a result of the gauche conformation induced by the CTFE unit. The polarization hysteresis loops reveal the variation of remanent polarization and coercive electric field with the CTFE content due to the changes of crystallinity and crystalline phase. The observed broad dielectric constant peak with Vogel-Fulcher dielectric dispersion behavior suggests a transformation from a normal ferroelectric to a ferroelectric relaxor of the polymers. The relationship between the local relaxation process and relaxor ferroelectric behavior has been examined on the basis of the dielectric and mechanical loss tangents as a function of temperature.

Dielectric nanocomposites have garnered significant interest owing to their potential applications in energy storage. However, achieving high energy density (U) and charge/discharge efficiency (η) remains a challenge in their fabrication. In this paper, core-shell structured BaTiO@Polyvinylpyrrolidone (BT@PVP) nanoparticles are prepared, and incorporated into a semi-crystalline polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

Tactile sensation and recognition in the human brain are indispensable for interaction between the human body and the surrounding environment. It is quite significant for intelligent robots to simulate human perception and decision-making functions in a more human-like way to perform complex tasks. A combination of tactile piezoelectric sensors with neuromorphic transistors provides an alternative way to achieve perception and cognition functions for intelligent robots in human-machine interaction scenarios.

Regulation of the immune response is key to promoting bone regeneration by electroactive biomaterials. However, how electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale regulate the immune response and subsequent angiogenesis during bone regeneration remains to be elucidated. Here, the distinctly different surface potential distributions on charged poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix surfaces are established by altering the dimensions of ferroelectric nanofillers from 0D BaTiO nanoparticles (homogeneous surface potential distribution, HOPD) to 1D BaTiO nanofibers (heterogeneous surface potential distribution, HEPD).

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) materials have been widely investigated as polymer matrix for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to their high dielectric constant, electroactive effect (piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity), and excellent thermal stability. However, the poor interface compatibility caused by highly reactive residual solvents and unsatisfactory ionic conductivity owing to sluggish Li transport kinetics are principal bottlenecks impeding the further development of PVDF-based electrolytes. Herein, we design a PVDF-based electrolytes with the assistance of hydrophilic-amorphous silica (HA-SiO).
