Piezoelectric Properties of 0-3 Composite Films Based on Novel Molecular Piezoelectric Material (ATHP)PbBr.

Since their discovery, ferroelectric materials have shown excellent dielectric responses, pyroelectricity, piezoelectricity, electro-optical effects, nonlinear optical effects, etc. They are a class of functional materials with broad application prospects. Traditional pure inorganic piezoelectric materials have better piezoelectricity but higher rigidity; pure organic piezoelectric materials have better flexibility but havetoo small a piezoelectric coefficient. The material composite, on the other hand, can combine the advantages of both, so that it has both flexibility and a high piezoelectric coefficient. In this paper, a new molecular piezoelectric material (CHNO)PbBr with a high Curie temperature Tc and a large piezoelectric voltage constant g, referred to as (ATHP)PbBr, was used to prepare a 0-3 type piezoelectric composite film by compounding with an organic polymer material polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and its ferroelectricity was investigated. The results show that the 0-3 type (ATHP)PbBr piezoelectric composite film has good ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity, and the calculated piezoelectric voltage constant g after polarization is about 358.6 × 10 Vm/N, which is higher than that of PVDF material, and is important for the fabrication of high-performance piezoelectric sensors.
