Abstract

PVDF, or polyvinylidenefluoride, is a popular polymer in the fluoropolymer family because of its superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and piezoelectric qualities. It is chemically resistant to various substances, including diverse acids, bases, organic solvents, oil, and fat, and it is also easily processed. Electrochemical devices with superior energy storage effectiveness are necessary because of the increasing electricity consumption in the modern world. Because of its great power density, extended lifespan, remarkable charge/discharge cycle stability, and inexpensive cost, supercapacitors are regarded as amazing energy-storing devices. Supercapacitors' electrochemical performance is entirely dependent on the selection of their basic components and their manufacturing process. Materials made from carbon with improved thermophysical characteristics and deformation strength are currently of great interest. These materials have various applications in numerous sectors due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. The abundance of research on the "structure-property," manufacturing, application, and ecology of composite polymers based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) can be attributed to the many opportunities for their use in science and technology. It is feasible to achieve a high degree of multidisciplinarity and integration of polymer science by using innovative technologies to build an expanded conceptual picture regarding polymeric materials. This leads to the formation of fundamental problems in polymer science, the solution of which affects a significant improvement to the natural scientific picture of the modern world.PVDF is arguably the most sought-after polymer nowadays due to its ability to self-polarize in the presence of an electric field. Researchers and experts involved in the development of energy harvesting and storage devices such as self-charging supercapacitors are drawn to the piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and pyroelectric capabilities of PVDF. The advanced properties of PVDF and its potential applications in various polymer forms are explained.
