The
increasing energy problem and the demand of environmental protection
raise higher requirements for the development of clean energy. Dielectric
capacitors have attracted lots of attention as a supporting facility
of energy storage and conversion for clean energy, but their further
development is limited by the low energy storage performance. In this
paper, all-organic composite dielectrics were reported, with a poly(methyl
methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite dielectric
with different mixing ratios as the matrix and the organic molecular
semiconductor with high electron affinity [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyrate
acid methyl ester (abbreviated as PCBM) as fillers. The related test
results show that with the increase in the doping contents of PCBM,
the energy storage density increases obviously. When the doping content
of PCBM is 0.9 wt %, the PMMA/PVDF-based organic composite dielectric
possesses an optimal breakdown field of 685.67 kV mm–1, accompanying excellent energy storage performances (Ue
, ∼21.89 J cm–3; η,
∼70.34%). The PVDF blended with PMMA strategy not only restrains
the ferroelectric polarization loss of PVDF but also improves the
breakdown strength of the polymer. More importantly, the polarization
and breakdown strength of the composites can be synergistically enhanced
by filling with PCBM fillers.
