Dielectrics and energy storage capability

Why are dielectric materials important?

Dielectric materials with excellent energy storage capability at elevated temperatures are critical to meet the increasing demand of electrical energy storage and power conditioning at extreme conditions such as hybrid electric vehicles, underground oil industries and aerospace systems.

Which dielectrics have high energy storage capacity?

Due to the vast demand, the development of advanced dielectrics with high energy storage capability has received extensive attention , , , . Tantalum and aluminum-based electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, and film capacitors have a significant market share.

Can dielectric capacitors be used for energy storage?

Dielectric capacitors have been intensively studied as potential candidates for energy storage systems, due to their ultrafast charge-discharge speed, high power density, and exceptional reliability , , .

Are eco-friendly dielectric ceramics the kernel parts of pulsed power devices?

Eco-friendly dielectric ceramics with excellent energy storage performance and dielectric temperature stability are the kernel parts of pulsed power devices in the next-generation. However, the contradiction between high breakdown electric field (Eb)and maximum polarization (Pmax) restricts the improvement of comprehensive performance.

Are high-temperature dielectric films suitable for energy storage?

Summary of high-temperature dielectric films recently developed for energy storage. Crosslinking is a good strategy to limit the molecular chain motion and is studied in several published works, demonstrating the reduced dielectric relaxation, improved breakdown strength, and efficiency of the film capacitors.

Why do we need synchronous energy storage and dielectric temperature stability?

However, the traits of inferior energy storage capability and dielectric temperature stability significantly suppress their further practical application , , . Thus, it is urgent to synchronously achieve superior energy storage properties (Wrec > 8 J/cm 3, η > 90 %) and dielectric temperature stability.
