Abstract
Organic piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) with light weight, good flexibility, and simple processing are promising in mechanical energy conversion. Here, a high-output polymer PENG composed of a poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene)/SnSe nanosheet (NS) nanocomposite film has been fabricated and tested. After a treatment with mixed solvents of N,N-dimethylformamide and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE), the optimal nanocomposite PENG exhibits high piezoelectric properties with a piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 25.06 pC·N-1, a prominent open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 15.36 V·cm-2, and a short-circuit current (Isc) of 1.02 μA·cm-2. Moreover, the PENG can generate an output power density of up to 10.72 μW·cm-2 under a vertical force of 50 N. The attractive piezoelectric performance results from the doping of SnSe NSs with a high piezoelectric coefficient and also the increased β-phase ascribed to the introduction of nucleating agent NSs and the TCE solvent. The PENGs reveal great application potentials in consumer electronics.
