| Popis: | The crystal structure has a great influence on the dielectric and piezoelectric performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). In this work, we prepared PVDF films with two typical crystalline phases (α and β). In situ Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and Piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) were employed to investigate the responses of different PVDF crystalline phases to charge mobility, polarization, and piezoelectric properties. We used a homemade Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) to inject charges into the two crystalline phases to investigate the differences in the response of different crystalline phases of PVDF to electrical excitation on a microscopic scale. It was found that the α-phase has a lower charge injection barrier and is more susceptible to charge injection and that the α-phase is accompanied by a faster charge dissipation rate, which makes it easier to accumulate charge at the interface between the α-phase and β-phase PVDF. Moreover, the PFM polarization manipulation showed no change in the amplitude and phase diagram of the α-phase under ±10 V bias. In contrast, the β-phase showed a clear polarization reversal phenomenon and a significant increase in piezoelectric amplitude, which is consistent with its polar intrinsic properties. This study provides valuable insights into the multiphase contributions and a reference for designing advanced PVDF dielectrics. |
