    This article is devoted to Boolean and vectorial bent functions and their duals. Our ultimate objective is to increase such functions' corpus by designing new ones covering many previous bent functions' constructions. To this end, we provide several new infinite families of bent functions, including idempotent bent functions of any algebraic degree, bent functions in univariate trace form, and self-dual bent functions. Those bent functions are of great theoretical and practical interest because of their special structures and relationship with self-dual codes. In particular, many well-known bent functions are special cases of our bent functions. Moreover, we extend our results to vectorial bent functions and obtain three new infinite classes of vectorial bent functions of any possible degree by determining the explicit duals of three classes of well-known bent functions.
