Abstract
-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). The composite was prepared by simply blending PVDF-TrFE and PEDOT:PSS with a weight ratio from 0% to 60%. When the ratio was 20%, the ferroelectric-crystalline phase was enhanced and the highest dielectric constant was observed. Accordingly, the TENGs consisting of 20% composite film and polyimide exhibited the best output performance: the maximum open circuit voltage and short circuit current were ∼15 V and ∼2.3 μA at 1 Hz oscillation, respectively. These results indicate that the ferroelectric characteristics of PVDF-TrFE can be enhanced by adding PEDOT:PSS as a nanofiller.
