This work demonstrates improved energy density and reduced electrical breakdown in polymer dielectrics, suggesting low loss may enhance flexible electronics.
The advancement of flexible electronics demands dielectric materials beyond single‐mechanism regulation. This study introduces a synergistic dual‐regulation strategy combining photo‐crosslinking and fluorine effects to concurrently suppress relaxation and conduction losses. We fabricated cross‐linked hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA)/β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) ternary composite films via ultraviolet (UV)‐induced in situ polymerization. Fluorine incorporation effectively inhibited relaxation loss and leakage current, reducing its density from 6.19 × 10 −6 μC/cm 3 (1 wt% β‐CD/PVDF) to 1.79 × 10 −6 μC/cm 3 (30 wt% HFMA composite), thereby mitigating thermal/electrical breakdown risks. Simultaneously, the photo‐crosslinked structure restricted chain segment mobility, enhancing breakdown strength from 364.35 MV/m (PVDF) to 545.16 MV/m. The synergistic effect significantly improved energy storage performance, achieving a maximum energy density of 7.21 J/cm 3 at 20 wt% HFMA loading—156% of the value for PVDF. This work provides a new design pathway for high‐performance flexible polymer dielectrics featuring low loss, high breakdown strength, and superior energy storage density.
