Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electrospinning a composite of PVDF, HfO2, and nano‐Cu transforms the discrete precursors into a continuous nanofiber mesh, forming a multi‐interface heterostructure with embedded nanoparticles. The presence of HfO2 and nano‐Cu at the fiber interfaces induces a highly aligned β‐phase, which enhances piezoelectric crystallinity and improves the material'
