The dominant ferroelectrics in technology are hard materials and often include rare or toxic metals, such as lead and niobium ...

When complete, the site will be the largest production facility in North America for battery-grade polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a vital cathode binding material for the lithium-ion cells used ...

However, enhancing the polarization of PVDF-based materials remains a challenge. The integration of halide perovskite nanocrystals into PVDF matrices offers a novel approach to improving the ...
