Abstract
Nanocomposites incorporating inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) within ferroelectric polymeric matrices have great potential for high density energy capacitors. In this strategy, employing the nanostructures with specially designed morphology as fillers would notably improve the energy storage. However, this strategy is extremely challenging and has not been largely explored. Here, the BaTiO3@sheet-likeTiO2 core–shell NPs have been successfully synthesized, and can be well-dispersed into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrices. The nanocomposites with the volume fraction 2.5% BT@TiO2 NPs have higher the electric displacement (6.0 μm/cm2) than that of PVDF films with the 2.5 vol % BaTiO3 (BT) NPs (5.1 μm/cm2) under the same electric field of 350 kV/mm, which is mainly ascribed to the hierarchical interfacical polarization induced by the large surface area of TiO2 sheet assembled on BT NPs in the nanocomposites. Simultaneously, the medium permittivity TiO2 with medium er as a buffer layer between the BT NPs and ...
