Abstract:
Flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (FPEHs) can convert mechanical energy into electric energy in a manner that powers electronic equipment and systems. Structural design of piezoelectric fillers in organic–inorganic piezocomposites is means of enhancing the power generation performance of FPEHs. Herein, a design strategy of piezoelectric fillers is proposed: decorating Ag nanoparticles onto Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCZT) particles, forming a BCZT@Ag heterostructure, thus obtaining BCZT@Ag/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) piezocomposites. An extremely high piezoelectric constant d33 of 34 pC/N is achieved in the BCZT@Ag/PVDF sample, which is 2.6 times higher than that of the BCZT/PVDF sample. The greatly improved piezoelectric properties are attributable to enhanced interfacial polarization via BCZT@Ag heterostructure design. More poling electric voltage is applied to the piezoelectric filler particles, resulting in substantially improved poling efficiency. This composite approach of introducing metal particles is a generic design method and can be extended to other organic–inorganic piezocomposite systems. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
