Description Here we report the effect of surface hydroxylation of BiFeO3 fillers on the dielectric, ferroelectric, energy storage and mechanical energy harvesting performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride). Surface hydroxylation helped to improve the interfacial interaction between the filler and PVDF matrix by introducing a strong hydrogen bonding between the -OH group of the hydroxylated BiFeO3 filler surface and the -CF2 dipole of PVDF in place of electrostatic interfacial interaction between non-hydroxylated BiFeO3 and the -CH2 dipole of PVDF. The amount of polar phase increased to around 91% for a 7 wt% hydroxylated BiFeO3 loaded PVDF film (7BFOH) by this new type of interfacial interaction. The dielectric, ferroelectric, energy storage and mechanical energy harvesting performance of the PVDF based composite films also improved by the above said technique. Upon repeated human finger tapping, the 7BFOH film delivered similar to 18 V output peak to peak open circuit ac voltage (V-OC). After rectification, the V-OC of the 7BFOH film was able to charge a 10 mu F capacitor up to similar to 3 V which was able to light up some LEDs (connected in parallel) together instantaneously, which proved the real life applicability of the composite films in low power consuming self-powered electronic devices.
