A Brief Introduction and Current State of Polyvinylidene Fluoride as an Energy Harvester

This review summarizes the current trends and developments in field of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for use mainly as a nanogenerator. The text covers PVDF from first steps solution mixing, through production, to material utilization, demonstration results, future perspective. Specific solvents ratios must be selected when choosing mixing solution. It is necessary set exact parameters during fabrication define whether will flexible nanofibers or solid layer. Based on these selections, subsequent its piezoelectric properties are determined. most common degradation phenomena how behaves described paper. therefore intended provide basic overview not only those who plan start producing energy nanogenerators, active filters, sensors but also already knowledgeable production this want expand their existing expertise subject.
