Impact of Multi-Walled CNT Incorporation on Dielectric Properties of PVDF-BaTiO3 Nanocomposites and Their Energy Harvesting Possibilities

The current study investigated the fabrication of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) adhering to Barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposites, as well impact MWCNT on PVDF-BaTiO3 matrix in terms dielectric constant loss with a view develop high performance piezoelectric energy harvester future. capacity potential as-prepared nanocomposite films for high-performance flexible nanogenerator (PNG) were also this work. In particular, five distinct types nanocomposites synthesized: PB (bare PVDF–BaTiO3), PBC-1 (PVDF–BaTiO3-0.1 wt% CNT), PBC-2 (PVDF–BaTiO3-0.3 PBC-3 (PVDF–BaTiO3-0.5 PBC-4 (PVDF–BaTiO3-1 CNT). increased concentration increased. Sample had optimum characteristics all samples, maximum output voltage 4.4 V 0.66 μA, respectively, an applied force ~2N. Fine-tuning BaTiO3 content thickness PNGs is likely increase harvester’s even more. It anticipated that work would make it easier fabricate be suitable choice creating PNG.
