Abstract

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) ferroelectric polymer with high dielectric constant has been emerged as promising candidate for advanced electrostatic capacitors. However, the intrinsic high ferroelectric loss of PVDF can cause suppressed discharge efficiency, which greatly hinders its applicability. In this work, a polymer-blending approach using linear dielectric component poly(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) (ABS) is proposed to alleviate the low discharge efficiency issue in PVDF. The ABS-containing high-polarity acrylonitrile monomer demonstrates to show excellent compatibility with PVDF and reduce PVDF ferroelectric domains. With weakened ferroelectric domains coupling, the blends perform significantly enhanced discharge efficiency. For instance, with a moderate discharge energy density of 5.7 J/cm3, a rather high discharge efficiency of 82% can be obtained in blends with a composition content of 50/50 under 400 MV/m while that of PVDF is only 55%. Additionally, the blends exhibit superior operation reliability against pure PVDF, suggesting its feasibility as viable capacitor.
