Recent Progress in the Auxiliary Phase Enhanced Flexible Piezocomposites

Piezocomposites with both flexibility and electromechanical conversion characteristics have been widely applied in various fields, including sensors, energy harvesting, catalysis, and biomedical treatment. In the composition of piezocomposites or their preparation process, a category of materials is commonly employed that do not possess piezoelectric properties themselves but play a crucial role in performance enhancement. In this review, the concept of auxiliary phase is first proposed to define these materials, aiming to provide a new perspective for designing high‐performance piezocomposites. Three different categories of modulation forms of auxiliary phase in piezocomposites are systematically summarized, including the modification of piezo‐matrix, the modification of piezo‐fillers, and the construction of special structures. Each category emphasizes the role of the auxiliary phase and systematically discusses the latest advancements and the physical mechanisms of the auxiliary phase enhanced flexible piezocomposites. Finally, a summary and future outlook of piezocomposites based on the auxiliary phase are provided.

Abstract

Piezocomposites with both flexibility and electromechanical conversion characteristics have been widely applied in various fields, including sensors, energy harvesting, catalysis, and biomedical treatment. In the composition of piezocomposites or their preparation process, a category of materials is commonly employed that do not possess piezoelectric properties themselves but play a crucial role in performance enhancement. In this review, the concept of auxiliary phase is first proposed to define these materials, aiming to provide a new perspective for designing high‐performance piezocomposites. Three different categories of modulation forms of auxiliary phase in piezocomposites are systematically summarized, including the modification of piezo‐matrix, the modification of piezo‐fillers, and the construction of special structures. Each category emphasizes the role of the auxiliary phase and systematically discusses the latest advancements and the physical mechanisms of the auxiliary phase enhanced flexible piezocomposites. Finally, a summary and future outlook of piezocomposites based on the auxiliary phase are provided.
