Abstract

Polypropylene (PP) films capacitors play a crucial role in power grids, while the relatively low energy storage density (Ue) of the dielectric material limits the integration and miniaturization of capacitors. In this paper, we proposed a bi-layer film consisted of PP and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to enhance the Ue. To improve the interface compatibility, the ultraviolet irradiation was adopted on the surface of PP films with the treatment time ranged from 10 s to 5 min, and then the PMMA layer was coated on the treated PP. The morphology of the bi-layer films was characterized by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The dielectric spectroscopy, breakdown strength (BDS) and the D-E loops were tested to investigate the energy storage properties. Results showed that the highest BDS of 775.50 kV / mm and Ue of 7.52 J / cm3 were achieved with the treatment time of 1 min, which were 29.76% and 89.42% higher compared to the neat PP films, respectively. This work provided experimental and theoretical supports for the enhancement of the energy storage properties of PP films.
