Title: Gd5Si4-PVDF nanocomposite films and their potential for triboelectric energy harvesting applications

Abstract

The triboelectric energy generators prepared using the combination of self-polarized, high β-phase nanocomposite films of Gd₅Si₄-PVDF and polyamide-6 (PA-6) films have generated significantly higher voltage of ~425 V, short-circuit current density of ~30 mA/m² and a charge density of ~116.7 μC/m² as compared to corresponding values of ~300 V, 30 mA/m² and 94.7 μC/m^2, respectively for the pristine PVDF-(PA-6) combination. The magnetic measurements of the Gd₅Si₄-PVDF films display a ferromagnetic behavior as compared to diamagnetic nature of pristine PVDF. The presence of magnetic nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix allows for some control over the microstructural properties during the preparation process. The results open new routes for multiferroic composite films to be suitable for multi-functional magnetic and triboelectric energy harvesting applications.

Enhancement of 𝜷-phase in PVDF films embedded with ferromagnetic Gd5Si4 nanoparticles for piezoelectric energy harvesting

Journal Article Harstad, Shane ; D’Souza, Noel ; Soin, Navneet ; ... - AIP Advances

Self-polarized Gd5Si4-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite films have been synthesized via a facile phase-inversion technique. For the 5 wt% Gd₅Si₄-PVDF films, the enhancement of the piezoelectric β-phase and crystallinity are confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (phase fraction, FβFβ, of 81% as compared to 49% for pristine PVDF) and differential scanning calorimetry (crystallinity, ΔXcΔXc, of 58% as compared to 46% for pristine PVDF), respectively. The Gd5Si4 magnetic nanoparticles, prepared using high-energy ball milling were characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) to reveal a particle size of ~470 nm with a high magnetization of 11 emu/g.

Stability of magnetocaloric La(Fe _x Co _y Si _1-x-y ) ₁₃ in water and air

Journal Article Javed, Khushar ; Gupta, Shalabh ; Pecharsky, Vitalij K. ; ... - AIP Advances

Stability of cobalt-doped lanthanum iron silicide, La(Fe _x Co _y Si _1-x-y ) have been investigated under conditions required for magnetocaloric refrigeration. The XRD analysis revealed that both milled and non-milled samples stored in water loose a few Bragg peaks corresponding to the NaZn13 phase of La(Fe _x Co _y Si _1-x-y ) . Samples stored in air show well-defined Bragg peaks similar to that of pristine material. The SEM-EDS of the milled and non-milled samples stored in water and air show an increased concentration of oxygen in the samples, particularly those treated with water. The course non-milled powders keptmore »« less

Magnetocaloric Effect of Micro- and Nanoparticles of Gd₅Si₄

Journal Article Harstad, S. M. ; El-Gendy, A. A. ; Gupta, S. ; ... - JOM. Journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

We report that materials exhibiting a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) at or near room temperature are critical for solid-state refrigeration applications. The MCE is described by a change in entropy (ΔS_M) and/or temperature (ΔT_ad) of a material in response to a change in applied magnetic field. Ball milled materials generally exhibit smaller ΔS_M values compared to bulk; however, milling broadens the effect, potentially increasing the relative cooling power (RCP). The as-cast Gd₅Si₄ is an attractive option due to its magnetic transition at 340 K and associated MCE.

Probing the Reaction between PVDF and LiPAA vs Li ₇ Si ₃ : Investigation of Binder Stability for Si Anodes

Journal Article Han, Binghong ; Piernas-Muñoz, Maria Jose ; Dogan, Fulya ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The chemical interaction of the highly reactive lithiated Si anode with other cell components, such as binders and electrolytes, is one of the most vital issues in batteries using Si electrodes. In this work, crystalline lithium silicide (LS) with Li₇Si₃ composition is synthesized to study the direct chemical reactions between the lithiated Si anodes and two typical binders, polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) and lithiated polyacrylic acid (LiPAA). The solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman characterization experiments show that LiPAA binder is chemically stable against LS. On the contrary, PVDF binder reacts more readily with the LS, resulting in critical loss ofmore »« less

Fabrication and Characterization of Non-Equilibrium Plasma-Treated PVDF Nanofiber Membrane-Based Sensors

Journal Article Sultana, Quazi Nahida ; Khan, Mujibur ; Mahamud, Rajib ; ... - Sensors

The effect of a self-pulsing non-equilibrium plasma discharge on piezoelectric PVDF nanofiber membrane was investigated. The plasma discharge was generated in air with a DC power source, with a discharge current of 0.012 mA, a nominal interelectrode separation of 1 mm, and discharge voltage of ~970 V. In a continuous fabrication process, the electrospinning method was used to generate thin nanofiber membrane with a flow rate of 0.7–1 mL h^-1 and 25–27 kV voltage to obtain the nanofiber with high sensitivity and a higher degree of alignment and uniformity over a larger area. Plasma treatment was applied on both singlemore »« less
