| Abstract Scope |
BCZT/PVDF (Barium Calcium Zirconate Titanate/Polyvinylidene Fluoride) composites have attracted significant attention as promising materials for energy storage applications due to their combined ferroelectric and relaxor behavior. (1-x)BCZT/ xPVDF with different ceramic content has been prepared using solid state reaction in laboratory. Its offers high dielectric permittivity and environmental compatibility, while PVDF, a flexible ferroelectric polymer, enhances mechanical strength and flexibility. The composite films were prepared using melt press hydrolytic machine and gold electrodes were deposited using sputtering unit. These composite exhibits relaxor-like behavior primarily due to the interaction between BCZT nanoparticles and the PVDF matrix. This relaxor nature reduced dielectric loss, which are critical for high energy density and to enhance efficiency for energy storage applications. Moreover, the synergy between ceramic and polymer phases facilitates the energy storage performance. Studies have demonstrated that optimized loading of BCZT in PVDF can achieve high recoverable energy density, low energy loss and high efficiency, making these composites promising candidates for flexible capacitors and dielectric energy storage devices. |
