摘要

Piezoelectricity can be obtained by directly hot pressing poly(vinylidene fluoride) films sandwiched between chitosan or cellulose films. The electrostatic interactions enable an exceptional high content of polar phases (- and -phases) up to 90% and a measured piezoelectric charge coefficient d33 of up to -30 pC/N.

Abstract

Piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has received considerable attention due to its ability of interconverting mechanical into electric energies and potential applications in wearable electronics. To achieve piezoelectricity

it is important to simultaneously control the formation of polar phases

crystallinity

and dipole alignments in PVDF-based films. Here we demonstrate that piezoelectricity can be obtained by directly hot-pressing PVDF films sandwiched between chitosan or cellulose films. The electrostatic interactions between PVDF and chitosan or cellulose enabled an exceptional high content of polar phases (

- and

-phases) up to 90% and a measured piezoelectric charge coefficient

of up to −30 pC/N. This study provides a simple and low-cost approach for obtaining piezoelectric PVDF films used for sensors

actuators

and energy harvesters.
