Highly Efficient and Durable Piezoelectric Nanogenerator and Photo-Power Cell Based on CTAB-Modified-Montmorillonite Incorporated PVDF Film

摘要： Herein, we have successfully designed two eco-friendly, biocompatible and cost-effective devices i.e. a piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) and a self-charged photo-power cell (PPC) by developing a multifunctional CTAB modified montmorillonite (MMT) incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) thin film with large electroactive β crystallites and dielectric properties. Incorporation of CTAB modified MMT in PVDF leads to nucleation of piezoelectric β crystallite (F(β)) ~ 91% as well as the dielectric constant ~ 48 at 3 mass% doping of CTAB-MMT. The enrichment of the electroactive β phase crystallization and high dielectric constant pilot to a good piezoelectricity ( d33) ~ 62.5 pC/N at 50 Hz of the thin film. Our CTAB-MMT/PVDF based PENG (CMPENG) with superior piezoelectricity shows high output power generation with power density ~ 50.72 mW/cm3 under periodic finger impartation and having ability to charge up a 1μF capacitor up to 2.4 V within 14 seconds under gentle finger impartation. The CMPENG also have the potential to glow up commercially available 26 blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) connected in series. The self-charged PPC has been designed with the thin film in association with MnO2-MWNT/PVP/H3PO4. Our PPC is able to generate supercilious output voltage ~ 1.38 V and short circuit current ~ 3.7 mA/cm2under light illumination with specific areal capacitance and energy storage efficiency ~ 1501 F/m2 and ~ 93% respectively. The realistic application of our PPC is investigated by lightening up 24 blue LEDs for 7 days with same intensity by charging the device once for 50 seconds.
