Abstract

S, N-co-doped carbon quantum dots (S, N-CQDs) as the fluorescent source and β piezoelectric phase inducer were implanted into a poly (vinylidene) fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) microporous film to prepare the fluorescent and piezoelectric S,N-CQDs/PVDF-HFP composite film based on sensitization technology. The results showed that S, N-CQDs were uniformly anchored into the PVDF-HFP skeletons. This promoted the polarization effect and prevented solid-state luminescence quenching, further ensuring the coupling of fluorescent and piezoelectric bifunctions in the composite film. Since the induced polarization effect, the β piezoelectric phase in the composite film climbed from 65.8% to 86.6% with an amplitude of 31.6%, which caused the increase in piezoelectric constant (d33) from 15.4 to 21.6 pC N−1 with an amplitude of 40.26%. Because of the absence of solid-state luminescence quenching, the light cyan fluorescence from S, N-CQDs was successfully realized in the composite film. The application of the composite film in the flexible pressure sensor (FPS) enabled to achieve an outstanding sensitivity of 267.75 mV N−1, exceeding that (191.73 mV N−1) when using the pure PVDF-HFP film. Moreover, the embedding of S, N-CQDs endowed the FPS with several new functions mainly owning to the ultraviolet excited fluorescence of the composite film.
