“…From the height profile of rGO flakes the average height is found to be 2.45±0.51 nm. The thickness of graphene oxide is ∼0.80 nm; So there is approximately three layers of graphene are present in the rGO sheet. From the height profile of HxWO 3 the average height is found to be 2.82±0.90 nm.…”
We have synthesized hydrogen tungsten oxide decorated reduced graphene oxide (H x WO 3 @rGO) composite with different precursor weight ratios of WS 2 and GO, of which the WG1-2 system, produced from WS 2 and GO in the 1 : 2 weight ratio by treatment with hydrogen peroxide followed by hydrothermal treatment, shows high areal capacitance of 409 mF cm À 2 at 1 mA cm À 2 current density with retention of 61.4 % at 20 mA cm À 2 current density. This H x WO 3 @rGO composite is drop-cast onto graphite layer-coated on scotch tape to design a flexible supercapacitor. The flexible solid-state symmetric supercapacitor based on the WG1-2 composite shows a high volumetric capacitance of 3.56 F cm À 3 and ultrahigh energy density of 1.6 mW h cm À 3 at 1469.43 mW cm À 3 power density.

“…The incorporation of nucleation nanofillers, for instance, ferroelectric ceramics, magnetic particles, and metal fillers, would vary the crystallinity and the electroactive phase in the PVDF nanocomposite. [26,[36][37][38][39] Furthermore, it is evidenced that the stretching technology is an effective approach to rearrange the macromolecular chains and subsequently increase the fraction of the electroactive phase. The melting point of the P(VDF-CTFE) film is enhanced after the mechanical improvement ( Figure S2, Supporting Information).…”

“…The dielectric constant of 60.6 at 100 Hz and energy‐harvesting density of 14.1 J cm −3 at 400 MV m −1 were obtained in 10 vol% PVDF composite embedded with NH 2 ‐treated graphene nanodot and rGO as co‐fillers . The polyaniline functionalized graphene was added into the PVDF matrix, and ε ′ = 264 with a dielectric loss of 1.1 at 100 Hz was obtained in 5 wt% composite, which was attributed to the synergistic effect under uniform dispersion . Nevertheless, the presence of oxygen‐containing groups in rGO induces the deterioration of electrical property and thermal conductivity compared with graphene .…”

Although a polymer film capacitor releases a huge power density in pulse time, its electrical capability is limited by the low energy density for the embedded hybrid device. It is still a challenge to increase the energy density and retain high charge–discharge efficiency of the polymer film. High dielectric properties and high energy density are obtained in the uniaxial stretching poly(vinylidene fluoride‐chlorotrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐CTFE)) nanocomposite incorporated with few‐layer graphene, which is exfoliated with the assistance of a fluoro hyperbranched polyethylene‐graft‐poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (HBPE‐g‐PTFEMA) copolymer via CH—π noncovalent interactions. The graphene/P(VDF‐CTFE) nanocomposite film is prepared via solution casting, and then, the in‐plane orientation of nanosheets is accomplished by uniaxial deformation. The relative content of the β phase reaches 96.0% in 0.8 vol% nanocomposite due to the combination of improved compatibility and the alignment of macromolecular chains. The energy density of a 0.1 vol% graphene/P(VDF‐CTFE) film achieves 9.5 J cm−3 as E = 400 MV m−1, which is attributed to the large‐content electroactive phase and interfacial polarization. The P(VDF‐CTFE) nanocomposite incorporated with aligned graphene exhibits a promising energy storage capability, which indicates that the orientation of nanosheets is an effective solution to enhance the energy density of the polymer film with large charge–discharge efficiency.
“…These materials combine the advantages of fillers, such as high dielectric constant and good electrical conductivity, as well as the merits of polymers, such as proper processing, flexibility, mechanical properties, and high breakdown strength. Recently, the incorporation of conductive fillers such as carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene into polymer matrix has been considered as an effective strategy for fabricating polymer nanocomposites with high dielectric constants based on the percolation effect. Among the various conductive fillers, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have great potential for realizing flexible high‐k nanocomposites due to their superior conductivity, large aspect ratio, and excellent mechanical properties.…”
NanocompositesPoly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted carbon nanotubes (PMMA@MWCNTs) are nondestructively prepared via the integration of mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) chemistry and the surface-initiated atom transfer radical poly merization (ATRP) method. The structures and properties of the poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based (PVDF-based) nanocomposites filled with pristine MWCNTs and PMMA@MWCNTs are investigated. The results show that the encapsulation of PMMA on the MWCNTs surface not only improves the dispersibility of MWCNTs in the PVDF matrix but also enhances the interfacial interaction between MWCNTs and PVDF. The addition of PMMA@MWCNTs nanofillers to PVDF can effectively induce the crystal structure of PVDF to transform from the α-phase to the β/γ -phase, and nearly 100% β/γ -phase PVDF formed when the nanofiller loading is higher than 5 wt%. Compared with the MWCNTs/PVDF composites, the PMMA@MWCNTs/PVDF composites exhibit obvious improvement in the percolation threshold because the PMMA shells hinder the direct contact of the MWCNTs. Moreover, the loss tangent of the PMMA@MWCNTs/PVDF composites is effectively suppressed due to the reduced leakage current in the composites and the enhanced interfacial strength between the nanofiller and the matrix.
