- A PTFE coating on PVDF significantly reduces leakage current, improving breakdown strength by 30.8% and enhancing energy storage density by 70%, offering a promising approach for using PVDF in capacitors.
Article Abstract
Plastic film capacitors are widely used in pulse and energy storage applications because of their high breakdown strength, high power density, long lifetime, and excellent self-healing properties. Nowadays, the energy storage density of commercial biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is limited by its low dielectric constant (~2.2). Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) exhibits a relatively high dielectric constant and breakdown strength, making it a candidate material for electrostatic capacitors. However, PVDF presents significant losses, generating a lot of waste heat. In this paper, under the guidance of the leakage mechanism, a high-insulation polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating is sprayed on the surface of a PVDF film. The potential barrier at the electrode-dielectric interface is raised by simply spraying PTFE and reducing the leakage current, and then the energy storage density is increased. After introducing the PTFE insulation coating, the high-field leakage current in the PVDF film shows an order of magnitude reduction. Moreover, the composite film presents a 30.8% improvement in breakdown strength, and a 70% enhancement in energy storage density is simultaneously achieved. The all-organic structure design provides a new idea for the application of PVDF in electrostatic capacitors.

In the post-lithium-ion battery era, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been considered as a promising candidate because of their electrochemical and economic characteristics. However, as an emerging electrochemical storage technology, it is urgent to develop capable anode materials that can be produced at low cost and on a large scale to promote its practical application. Biomass-derived carbon materials as anodes of PIBs exhibit strong competitiveness by their merits of low weight, high stability, non-toxicity, and wide availability.

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.

High-performance and cost-effective hole-collecting materials (HCMs) are indispensable for commercially viable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we report an anchorable HCM composed of a triazatruxene core connected with three alkyl carboxylic acid groups (). In contrast to the phosphonic acid-containing tripodal analog (), molecules can form a hydrophilic monolayer on a transparent conducting oxide surface, which is beneficial for subsequent perovskite film deposition in the traditional layer-by-layer fabrication process.

Bicontinuous particle-stabilized emulsions (bijels) are unique soft materials that combine the bulk properties of two immiscible fluids into a single interconnected structure. This structure is achieved through the formation of two interwoven fluid networks, stabilized by an interfacial layer of colloidal particles. Bijels with submicron-scale domain networks can be synthesized solvent transfer-induced phase separation (STrIPS).
