TL;DR
This paper shows how adding ZnO or BaTiO3 to PVDF nanofibers improves their piezoelectric performance, making them better for microsensors.
Contribution
A new in situ doping strategy is introduced to enhance PVDF's piezoelectric properties using ZnO or BTO.
Findings
A 16 wt% PVDF and 10 wt% ZnO composite achieved 52.8% β-phase content.
The output voltage of the composite reached 1.5 V, 2.5 times higher than undoped PVDF.
Processing parameters significantly affect the morphology and piezoelectric performance of the nanofiber membranes.
Abstract
High-performance piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has great application potential in the field of microsensors, but achieving efficient polarization remains a challenge. Here, the in situ doping electrospinning technique is employed to enhance the piezoelectric properties by introducing a single dose of zinc oxide (ZnO) or barium titanate (BaTiO3,BTO) dopants. The effects of key processing parameters on the morphology of nanofiber membranes were systematically investigated. In addition, the influence of zinc oxide (ZnO) or barium titanate (BTO) dopant concentrations on the piezoelectric properties of PVDF was examined. The microstructure, electrical performance, and β-phase content of the composite membranes were characterized. Results indicate that the composite film with a doping formulation of 16 wt% PVDF and 10 wt% ZnO exhibits optimal overall performance: the β-phase…
