Nitrogen Self-Doping Carbon Derived from Functionalized Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) (PVDF) for Supercapacitor and Adsorption Application.

ABSTRACT: A new synthetic strategy has been developed for the facile fabrication of a N-doped porous carbon (NC-800) material via a facile carbonization of functionalized poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). The prepared NC-800 exhibits good specific capacitance of 205 F/g at 1 A/g and cycle stability (95.2% retention after 5000 cycles at 1 A/g). The adsorption capacity of NC-800 on methylene blue and methyl orange was 780 mg/g and 800 mg/g, respectively. The facile and economical method and good performance (supercapacitor and adsorption) suggest that the NC-800 is a promising material for energy storage and adsorption.

Preparation and electroactive phase adjustment of Ag-doped poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films.

Project description:The crystallinities of Ag-doped poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films were modified by removing Ag+ using a novel washing process, which allowed control of the ratio of γ- and β-phases. The polarity of the composite film without Ag+ removal through the washing process reached 98%, and the β-phase content in the total electroactive phase was increased to 61%, according to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. When Ag+ were removed through a process involving several cycles of washing, filtering, drying, and re-dissolving, the highest ratio of the γ-phase was increased to 67%, 28% higher than that before washing. This showed that Ag+ induced β-phase formation while Ag nanoparticles induced γ-phase formation, and that the ratio of γ- and β-phases in PVDF composite films can be controlled to suit specific applications by this washing process.

Biocompatible Silk/Polymer Energy Harvesters Using Stretched Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) Nanofibers.

Project description:Energy harvested from human body movement can produce continuous, stable energy to portable electronics and implanted medical devices. The energy harvesters need to be light, small, inexpensive, and highly portable. Here we report a novel biocompatible device made of poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers on flexible substrates. The nanofibers are prepared with electrospinning followed by a stretching process. This results in aligned nanofibers with diameter control. The assembled device demonstrates high mechanical-to-electrical conversion performance, with stretched PVDF-HFP nanofibers outperforming regular electrospun samples by more than 10 times. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals that the stretched nanofibers have a higher β phase content, which is the critical polymorph that enables piezoelectricity in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is initially selected as the substrate material for its low cost, high flexibility, and rapid prototyping capability. Bombyx Mori silkworm silk fibroin (SF) and its composites are investigated as promising alternatives due to their high strength, toughness, and biocompatibility. A composite of silk with 20% glycerol demonstrates higher strength and larger ultimate strain than PDMS. With the integration of stretched electrospun PVDF-HFP nanofibers and flexible substrates, this pilot study shows a new pathway for the fabrication of biocompatible, skin-mountable energy devices.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Carbon Derivative Structures from Eco-Friendly MOF-5 for Supercapacitor Electrode Preparation with Improved Electrochemical Performance.

Project description:Electrodes from carbonized Zn₄O(1,4-benzodicarboxylic acid) (MOF-5) structures were prepared successfully via evaporating the solvent with a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder. The solvent used for a nanocomposite cast was easily removed. Such an elegant method for preparing electrodes provides a facile, cost-effective, and void/cracking-free nanocomposite distribution on the current collector. The highly porous nanoparticles containing pure carbon attach well to the PVDF membrane which results in an increased active surface area of the electrode to 847 m²/g. The electrochemical analysis shows that the best weight ratio of CMOF-5 to PVDF equals 85:15, 80:20, and 75:25, respectively. The specific capacitance of these samples is 218 F/g, 210 F/g, and 180 F/g, correspondingly. An additional advantage of the electrode prepared from the carbonized MOF-5 is the possibility to synthesis MOF structures from recovered substrates used in its synthesis (distilled N,N-Dimethylformamide DMF and terephthalic acid recovered from polyethylene terephthalate waste). We will demonstrate this in this contribution as well. Furthermore, the carbonized MOF-5 can be recovered from the spent electrode and reused again in the electrochemical device.

Crystallization of Poly(ε-caprolactone) in Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Poly(ε-caprolactone) Blend.

Project description:The crystallization behavior of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) in a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/PCL blend as well as on a highly orientated PVDF substrate was studied by means of POM, DSC and TEM. The results show that the miscibility of the PVDF/PCL blend and the spherulitic morphology of PVDF varies with the blend ratio. For all the compositions, the pre-existing PVDF crystals accelerated the crystallization of PCL because the PVDF exhibits very strong nucleation ability toward PCL as reflected by the occurrence of heteroepitaxy and the transcrystallization of PBA on the PVDF substrate. This is associated with the perfect lattice matching between the PBA and PVDF crystals.

Highly Efficient Electrospun Silver Decorated Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites on Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF@GO-Ag) Hybrid Membrane for Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol.

Project description:Graphene oxide-silver poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes (PVDF@GO-Ag) were successfully synthesized by the electrospinning method, which exhibited a high catalytic activity using the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as a model reaction in a batch reaction study. The hybrid membranes doped with 1 wt% GO and 2 wt% Ag (PVDF-1-2) exhibited the most desired performance for the catalytic reduction of 4-NP. Importantly, PVDF-1-2 exhibited excellent cycling stability in 10 catalytic cycle tests and was highly amenable to separation. This property effectively addresses the significant challenges associated with the practical application of nanocatalysts. Furthermore, density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have demonstrated that the GO-Ag nanocomposites exhibit the strongest adsorption capacity for 4-NP- when a specific ratio of GO and Ag is achieved, accompanied by the loading of Ag nanoclusters onto GO. Additionally, the study demonstrated that an increase in temperature significantly accelerated the reaction rate, in line with the van't Hoff rule. This study provides an effective and environmentally friendly solution for the treatment of 4-NP in wastewater.

Electrical Response of Different Crystalline Microregions in Poly(vinylidene fluoride).

Project description:The crystal structure has a great influence on the dielectric and piezoelectric performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). In this work, we prepared PVDF films with two typical crystalline phases (α and β). In situ Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and Piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) were employed to investigate the responses of different PVDF crystalline phases to charge mobility, polarization, and piezoelectric properties. We used a homemade Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) to inject charges into the two crystalline phases to investigate the differences in the response of different crystalline phases of PVDF to electrical excitation on a microscopic scale. It was found that the α-phase has a lower charge injection barrier and is more susceptible to charge injection and that the α-phase is accompanied by a faster charge dissipation rate, which makes it easier to accumulate charge at the interface between the α-phase and β-phase PVDF. Moreover, the PFM polarization manipulation showed no change in the amplitude and phase diagram of the α-phase under ±10 V bias. In contrast, the β-phase showed a clear polarization reversal phenomenon and a significant increase in piezoelectric amplitude, which is consistent with its polar intrinsic properties. This study provides valuable insights into the multiphase contributions and a reference for designing advanced PVDF dielectrics.

Resistive non-volatile memories fabricated with poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(thiophene) blend nanosheets.

Project description:Ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride)/semiconductive polythiophene (P3CPenT) blend monolayers were developed at varying blend ratios using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The multilayered blend nanosheets show much improved surface roughness that is more applicable for electronics applications than spin-cast films. Because of the precisely controllable bottom-up construction, semiconductive P3CPenT were well dispersed into the ferroelectric PVDF matrix. Moreover, the ferroelectric matrix contains almost 100% β crystals: a polar crystal phase responsible for the ferroelectricity of PVDF. Both the good dispersion of semiconductive P3CPenT and the outstanding ferroelectricity of the PVDF matrix in the blend nanosheets guaranteed the success of ferroelectric organic non-volatile memories based on ferroelectricity-manipulated resistive switching with a fresh high ON/OFF ratio and long endurance to 30 days.

Rheology⁻Microstructure Relationships in Melt-Processed Polylactide/Poly(vinylidene Fluoride) Blends.

Project description:In this study, small amplitude oscillatory shear tests are applied to investigate the rheological responses of polylactide/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PLA/PVDF) blends and to correlate their viscoelastic properties with the morphological evolutions during processing. Although the analysis of the elastic moduli reveals some changes as a function of blend composition and processing time, the weighted relaxation spectra are shown to be more useful in detecting changes. The analysis demonstrates that when PVDF, i.e., the more viscous phase, is the matrix, the blend relaxes cooperatively and only a single relaxation peak is observed. By contrast, blends with highly concentrated morphologies do not fully relax, showing instead an upward increasing trend at longer times. This outcome is attributed to the broad distribution of highly concentrated droplets with a high probability of droplet⁻droplet contacts. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals that crystalline segmental motions attributed to the α-relaxation of PVDF at around 100 °C are restricted by the highly concentrated morphology of the 50/50 PLA/PVDF blend processed for 10 min. Relaxation analyses of the blends via dynamic oscillatory shear tests and DMA are shown to be powerful tools for investigating small microstructural changes in immiscible polymer blends.

Flexophotovoltaic Effect in Potassium Sodium Niobate/Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene) Nanocomposite.

Project description:Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical coupling effect in which electric polarization is generated by a strain gradient. In this investigation, a potassium sodium niobite/poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (KNN/PVDF-TrFE)-based nanocomposite is fabricated, and the flexoelectric effect is used to enhance the photovoltaic current (I pv) in the nanocomposite. It is found that both a pyroelectric current and photovoltaic current can be generated simultaneously in a light illumination process. However, the photovoltaic current (I pv) in this process contributes ≈85% of the total current. When assessing the effect of flexoelectricity with a curvature of 1/20, the I pv of the curved KNN/PVDF-TrFE (20%) (K/P-20) composite increased by ≈13.9% compared to that of the flat K/P-20 nanocomposite. Similarly, at a curvature of 1/20, the I pv of the K/P-20 nanocomposite is 71.6% higher than that of the PVDF-TrFE film. However, the photovoltaic effect induced by flexoelectricity is much higher than the increased polarization from flexoelectricity, so this effect is called as the flexophotovoltaic effect. Furthermore, the calculated energy conversion efficiency of the K/P-20 film is 0.017%, which is comparable to the previous research result. This investigation shows great promise for PVDF-based nanocomposites in ferroelectric memory device applications.

Janus Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) Membranes with Penetrative Pores for Photothermal Desalination.

Project description:Solar-driven desalination has been considered as a promising technology for producing clean water through an abundant and pollution-free energy source. It is a critical challenge to reasonably design the porous morphology and the thermal management of photothermal membranes for enabling efficient energy conversion and water production. In this work, a Janus poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane was fabricated in combination of penetrative pore structure, asymmetric surface wettability with proper thermal management for high-efficiency solar desalination. Highly open and directly penetrative pores achieved by the two-dimensional solvent freezing strategy are considered to provide direct pathways for water and vapor transportation. The unique feature of hydrophobic upper layer/hydrophilic lower layer enables the photothermal membranes to self-float on the water surface and rapidly pump water from the bulk to the surface. The resulting Janus membrane exhibits a satisfactory light absorbance as high as 97% and a photothermal conversion efficiency of 62.8% under one-sun irradiation in a direct contact mode. The solar-to-vapor efficiency rises up to 90.2% with the assistance of a thermal insulator adopted beneath. Both the Janus membrane and the composite setup are able to work efficiently with a high stability in seawater desalination, and the concentration of ion in condensed water is reduced to below 1 ppm. Therefore, Janus membranes with directly penetrative pores and photothermal surfaces shine a light on the development of high-performance solar evaporators for the practical application in solar seawater desalination.
