Sumario:Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers exhibit excellent piezoelectric properties and are potential materials for high efficiency energy harvesting devices. In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) films are prepared by the solution casting method. The prepared film is then subjected to mechanical stretching and poling process. By adjusting the temperature of the poling process and the elongation ratio of the mechanical stretching process, the relative content of β-phase F(β) increases significantly, leading to high piezoelectric performance. The maximum output voltage of the PVDF-HFP films poled at 40°C reaches 3.67 V, 71% higher than that of the films poled at room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and differential scanning calorimetry are used to investigate the influences of mechanical stretching and poling process on the crystal structure to discover the enhancement mechanism. This work provides a straightforward and low-cost route to prepare high piezoelectric PVDF-HFP-based materials.
