ract: Lightweight, flexible, and hydrophobic multifunctional piezoelectric sensors have increasingly important research value in contemporary society. They can generate electrical signals under
the action of pressure and can be applied in various complex scenarios. In this study, we prepared
a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite fiber doped with imidazolium type ionic liquids (ILs) and
europium nitrate hexahydrate (Eu (NO3
)3
·6H2O) by a facile method. The results show that the
PAN composite fibers had excellent mechanical properties (the elongation at break was 114% and
the elastic modulus was 2.98 MPa), hydrophobic self-cleaning ability (water contact angle reached
127.99?
), and can also emit light under UV light irradiation red fluorescence. In addition, thanks to the
induction of the piezoelectric phase of PAN by the dual fillers, the composite fibers exhibited efficient
energy storage capacity and excellent sensitivity. The energy density of PAN@Eu-6ILs reached a
maximum of 44.02 mJ/cm3 and had an energy storage efficiency of 80%. More importantly, under
low pressure detection, the sensitivity of the composite fiber was 0.69 kPa?1
. The research results
show that this PAN composite fiber has the potential to act as wearable piezoelectric devices, energy
storage devices, and other electronic devices
