This invention relates to the field of
energy storage materials technology, specifically disclosing a graft-modified
polyethylene dielectric material, its preparation method, and its applications. The material is prepared by chemically
grafting 1-(3-thiopropyl)-2-vinylpyridine
betaine (SPV) into the
polyethylene backbone. The
pyridine rings in the SPV side groups, through their conjugated
electron effect, introduce localized
energy level structures into the nonpolar
polyethylene matrix, forming distributed deep-trap charge-capturing regions. This significantly suppresses the migration and collisional
ionization of charge carriers under high electric fields, effectively improving the material's breakdown
field strength and high-
field service stability. Simultaneously, the
grafting modification method does not disrupt the regular arrangement of the polyethylene backbone, thus maintaining the inherent low
dielectric loss, good flexibility, and
processing performance of polyethylene. It is particularly suitable for the preparation of high-energy-density film capacitors and has broad application prospects in
electrical equipment operating under extreme conditions such as
new energy vehicles,
aerospace, and smart grids.
