Dielectric capacitors have attracted increasing attention for their fast charge-discharge speeds as well as high power density, and they have been widely used in advanced electronics and electric power systems. Here, dopamine-modified TiO2 (TiO2@PDA) nanosheets were synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and in situ polymerization. Then the synthesized TiO2@PDA nanosheets were introduced into the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix via solution blending. Our results reveal that loading a small amount of TiO2@PDA nanosheets can effectively enhance the energy storage performance of the nanocomposites. For example, a superior discharge energy density with 10.53 J/cm(3) is obtained for the 9 wt.% TiO2@PDA/PVDF nanocomposite at 195 MV/m, which is 1.75 times as large as discharge energy density of pure PVDF (6.01 J/cm(3) at 170 MV/m). Such significant improvement is due to the large aspect ratio as well as dopamine modification of the TiO2 nanosheets. The study provides a feasible way to prepare the nanocomposites with excellent energy storage performance.
