This paper reports monodispersed hard carbon micro-spherules with a high energy density, high initial coulombic efficiency and excellent cycle performance.
A hybrid nanoparticle, consisting of BaTiO3 nanoparticles tightly embedded in bronnitride (BN) nanosheets, has been fabricated based on a daring supposition that BN may act as a host to incorporate ferroelectric nanoparticles to improve insulation and polarization under a high electric field. Using the hybrids as fillers in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites, a high electric breakdown strength (Eb ≈580 kV/mm), which is 1.76 times of the PVDF film, is obtained when the filler content is 5 wt%. A large displacement (9.3 µC/cm2 under 580 kV/mm) is observed so as to obtain a high discharged energy density (Ud ≈17.6 J/cm3) of the BT@BN/PVDF composites, which is 2.8 times of the PVDF film. The enhancement ratio of Eb achieved in this study demonstrates the highest among the reported results. This hybrid structure of fillers provides an effective way to adjust and improve the energy storage properties of the polymer‐based dielectrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
