terms of a graceful failure. [1] These devices have been applied in many high-tech fields such as hybrid electric vehicles, electrical defibrillators, pulsed power systems, and power grids. Nevertheless, the inferior energy density of the polymer dielectrics significantly restrains the development of film capacitors in the future applications. For instance, the commercial benchmark poly mer dielectric biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) only possesses an energy density of <4 J cm −3 , [2] which leads to the cumbrous volume and cost in the practical applications. For example, film capacitors occupy ≈35% the volume and ≈40% the cost of the power inverters in hybrid electric vehicles. [3] The energy density (U e ) of dielectric materials can be derived from U e = ∫EdD , where E is the applied electric field and D denotes the electrical displacement. For linear dielectrics, the formula evolves into U e = 1/2ε 0 ε r E b 2 , where ε 0 is the vacuum permittivity, and ε r and E b are the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of dielectrics, respectively. Clearly, U e depends on the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of dielectrics, where E b is more important because of its quadratic relationship to U e .Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), a 2D nanomaterial with a wide bandgap (≈6 eV), have proved to be an intriguing dopant in dielectric polymer nanocomposites for the interest of enhancing dielectric strength and energy efficiency, because they are of high intrinsic breakdown voltage, can serve as efficient scattering centers for charge carriers, and possess large electrical resistance, in addition to their great thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. [4] To make use of the exceptional effects of BNNSs on dielectric polymers, a straightforward approach is to homogeneously disperse such nanosheets in the polymer matrices to impede charge conduction. In princi ple, with increasing the population density of BNNSs in the polymer matrices, the transport of charge carriers becomes increasingly constrained by these 2D topological barriers, leading to better dielectric performance. A strain forced orientation (i.e., mechanical stretching) of the BNNSs along the film direction is usually applied as an extra step to further enlarge the coverage of the embedded nanofillers in the transverse plane direction, and hence improve the dielectric performance of the composite film. [5] However, with increasing the feed Polymer dielectrics such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) have drawn tremendous attention in high energy density capacitors because of their high dielectric constant and ease of processing. However, the discharged energy density attained with these materials is restrained by the inferior breakdown strength and electric resistivity. Herein, PVDF composite films with a nanosized interlayer of assembled boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) that is aligned along the in-plane direction are prepared through a simple layer-by-layer solution-casting process. Compared to the pristine PVDF, the composite films ...
