TL;DR: Through designing multi-layered structures with carbon nanofiber (CNF)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites intercalated by a pure PVDF layer, enhanced dielectric constant and low loss were achieved.
Abstract: The enhancement of dielectric constant in a polymer while maintaining low loss through composite methods has been challenging. In this paper, we report that through designing multi-layered structures with carbon nanofiber (CNF)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites intercalated by a pure PVDF layer, enhanced dielectric constant and low loss were achieved. The dielectric loss was similar to that of pure PVDF at high frequencies and even lower than pure PVDF at low frequencies. The results were achieved by designing special multi-layered structures including CNF/PVDF composite layers. The multi-layered sandwich-like or laminate structure composites with transversely heterogeneous CNF distributions were prepared using a simple two-step processing including solution casting and compression molding methods. The dielectric constant obtained from the sandwich structure containing 5, 7 and 15 wt% CNF/PVDF composite layers is even more independent of the frequency in a wide range from 10(2) to 10(6) Hz. Furthermore, the effects of the heterogeneous CNF distribution on the dielectric properties were studied by designing different multi-layered composite structures with varying architecture while maintaining the same CNF concentration level. It is shown that varying this stack-up architecture of different CNF distributions plays an important role in the enhancement level of the dielectric constant while having negligible effect on the dielectric loss of the nanocomposite, which is determined mainly by the CNF loading content.

TL;DR: In this article, it was observed that the energy loss remains very small under low and medium electric fields but dramatically increases at high field which is believed to be due to tunneling current.
Abstract: In several low loss dielectric materials, it was observed that the energy loss remains very small under low and medium electric fields but dramatically increases at high field which is believed to be due to tunneling current. The increase of tunneling current at high field is due to the decrease of barrier width and height and is a universal phenomenon in all dielectric materials. Due to the requirement of high energy efficiency, high field conduction places a limit for the maximum operation field, which could be lower than the breakdown field and act as the limiting factor of energy density.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the salt concentration on transport properties and ion dynamics of blend solid polymer electrolyte (PEO-PAN) prepared by solution cast technique was studied.
Abstract: In the present article, we have studied the effect of the salt concentration (LiPF6) on transport properties and ion dynamics of blend solid polymer electrolyte (PEO–PAN) prepared by solution cast technique. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirms the presence of microscopic interactions such as polymer–ion and ion–ion interaction evidenced by a change in peak area of anion stretching mode. The fraction of free anions and ion pairs obtained from the analysis of FTIR implies that both influence the ionic conductivity with different salt concentration. The complex dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss, complex conductivity have been analyzed and fitted in the entire frequency range (1 Hz–1 MHz) at room temperature. The addition of salt augments the enhancement of dielectric constant and shift of relaxation peak in loss tangent plot toward high frequency indicates a decrease of relaxation time. We have implemented the Sigma representation (σ″ vs. σ′) for solid lithium ion conducting films which provide better insight regarding the dispersion region in Cole–Cole plot (e″ vs. e′) in lower frequency window. The dielectric strength, relaxation time and hopping frequency are in correlation with the conductivity which reveals the authenticity of results. Finally, the ion transport mechanism was proposed for getting the better understanding of the ion migration in the polymer matrix.
