Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional hybrid materials technology, and relates to an organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide piezoelectric material with phase change and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Energy conversion and harvesting have always played a vital role in human life and daily production. Compared with other materials, piezoelectric materials have higher mechanical energy-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency due to their more direct signal acquisition method. When a piezoelectric material is deformed under external force, its two surfaces generate charges of opposite signs. This effect is called the piezoelectric effect. Materials with the piezoelectric effect can be used as sensors to realize the conversion between electrical and mechanical stress. [1]
[0003] Piezoelectric materials are classified into inorganic piezoelectric materials, polymeric piezoelectric materials, and organic-inorganic hybrid piezoelectric materials. Inorganic piezoelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are widely used due to their excellent piezoelectric properties. However, PZT and other inorganic piezoelectric materials often contain toxic lead or heavy metals, which can cause serious environmental pollution. Furthermore, inorganic materials have low fracture toughness, and their synthesis process requires high temperatures and consumes a lot of energy. [2] Organic polymer materials have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent flexibility. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and other materials have become candidate materials for medical sensors due to their low processing cost and excellent flexibility. However, the synthesis technology of ferroelectric PVDF is still immature. On the other hand, most pure polymers have poor piezoelectric sensitivity, making it difficult to distinguish signals from noise, thus hindering their practical application. [3] Organic-inorganic hybrid piezoelectric materials, with their simple synthesis, low synthesis temperature, high thermal stability, and strong mechanical flexibility, have become emerging materials for piezoelectric sensing and energy harvesting. [4]
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for new energy harvesting materials that are environmentally friendly (free of lead and heavy metals) and do not require high-temperature synthesis processes. In summary, the primary challenge facing the field of energy conversion and harvesting materials is to synthesize novel non-centrosymmetric organic-inorganic hybrid piezoelectric materials at relatively low temperatures by selecting suitable organic ligands and metals.
