Abstract
Molecule-based ferroelectrics are promising candidates for flexible self-powered power supplies (i.e., piezoelectric generators (PEGs)). Although the large electromechanical conversion coefficients (d 33 × g 33) of piezoelectrics are key to enhancing the performance of PEGs in their nonresonant states, it remains a great challenge to obtain molecule-based piezoelectrics with large d 33 × g 33. Here, we report a molecule-based ferroelectric [(CH3)3NCH2CH2Cl][GaBr4] (1) that exhibits the largest piezoelectric coefficient (∼454 pC N-1) and electromechanical conversion coefficient (4953.1 × 10-12 m2 N-1) among all known free-standing polycrystalline pellets. Notably, the PEG comprising 15 wt% 1 and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) achieves a power density of up to 120 μW cm-2, marking the highest reported power density for ferroelectric@PDMS PEGs to date.
