Gradient design of ultrasmall dielectric nanofillers for PVDF-based high energy-density composite capacitors

Dielectric capacitors are key devices in pulsed power systems for their high power density. To improve the energy density, compact nanocomposite films comprising PVDF polymer and core-shell BaTiO3@TiO2 nanoparticles are prepared, in which the BaTiO3 (d ~ 8 nm) nanoparticles are encapsulated by the a...

A maximal discharged energy density of 11.34 J·cm−3 is achieved under an electric field of 420 kV·mm−1 in the nanocomposite film containing 5 vol% BaTiO3@10 wt%TiO2. Therefore, the gradient design of ultrasmall dielectric nanofillers shows high potential in fabrication of high energy-density nanocomposite.
