Toward Excellent Energy Storage Performance via Well-Aligned and Isolated Interfaces in Multicomponent Polypropylene-Based All-Organic Polymer Dielectric Films

Polypropylene (PP) serves as an excellent commercialized polymer dielectric film owing to its high breakdown strength, excellent self-healing ability, and flexibility. However, its low dielectric constant causes the large volume of the capacitor. Constructing multicomponent polypropylene-based all-organic polymer dielectric films is a facile strategy for achieving high energy density and efficiency simultaneously. Thereinto, the interfaces between the components become the key factors that determine the energy storage performance of the dielectric films. In this work, we propose to fabricate high-performance polyamide 513 (PA513)/PP all-organic polymer dielectric films via the construction of abundant well-aligned and isolated nanofibrillar interfaces. Laudably, a significant enhancement in the breakdown strength is achieved from 573.1 MV/m of pure PP to 692.3 MV/m with 5 wt % of PA513 nanofibrils. Besides, a maximum discharge energy density of about 4.4 J/cm 2 is realized with 20 wt % of PA513 nanofibrils, which is about 1.6-folds higher than pure PP. Simultaneously, the energy efficiency of samples with modulated interfaces maintains higher than 80% up to 600 MV/m, which is much higher than pure PP of about 40.7% at 550 MV/m. This work provides a new strategy to fabricate high-performance multicomponent all-organic polymer dielectric films on an industrial scale.
