Over the past few decades, flexible piezoelectric devices have gained increasing interest due to their wide applications as wearable sensors and energy harvesters. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE), one of polymers, has caught considerable attention because its high flexibility, thermal stability, biocompatibility. However, relatively lower piezoelectricity limits broader applications. Herein, we present a new approach improving PVDF-TrFE nanofibers by integrating barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles. Instead being directly dispersed into nanofibers, BTO nanoparticles were electrosprayed between nanofiber layers create sandwich structure. The results showed that sample with sandwiched much higher output compared uniformly in maximum ∼ 457% enhancement. Simulation suggested enhanced is larger strain induced Additionally, might be better poled during electrospraying field strength, which also believed contribute piezoelectricity. potential mats sensor for measuring biting force array pressure mapping was demonstrated.

Ultrahigh Electro‐Bending Deformation in Lead‐free Piezoelectric Ceramics via Defect Concentration Gradient Design

Advanced Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 36(33)

Опубликована: Июнь 14, 2024

Recent breakthroughs in defect-engineered lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have reported remarkable electrostrain values, surpassing the limit of lattice distortion. This has aroused wide concern on bending deformation and associated underlying mechanism. Herein, via designing with varying volatilization characteristics, it is uncovered that ultrahigh electrobending primarily attributed to a large strain gradient induced by unevenly distributed defect dipoles. In 0.5 mm thick Sr/Sn co-doped potassium sodium niobate featuring volatile K/Na elements, inherent bipolar value can reach 0.3% at 20 kV cm

With the rapid development of human–machine interactions and artificial intelligence, demand for wearable electronic devices is increasing uncontrollably all over world; however, an unsustainable power supply such sensors continues to restrict their applications. In present work, piezoelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramic powder with excellent properties was prepared from milled precursors through a solid-state reaction. To fabricate flexible device, as-prepared BaTiO3 mixed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer. The BaTiO3/PDMS ink rheological extruded smoothly by direct writing technology (DIW). particles were aligned due shear stress effect during printing process. Subsequently, as-printed composite assembled into sandwich-type device effective energy harvesting. It observed that maximum output voltage current this reached 68 V 720 nA, respectively, content 6 vol %. Therefore, material extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) technique can be used prepare composites efficient
