For the realization of engineering applications of polymer dielectric materials in energy storage film capacitors, the most significant precondition is fabricating dielectric polymer films with fine structures and tunable macroscopic natures on a large scale through utilizing scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient film processing technologies.
Energy storage testing The energy storage performance of polymer dielectric capacitor mainly refers to the electric energy that can be charged/discharged under applied or removed electric field. There are currently two mainstream methods for testing capacitor performance.
Particularly, ceramic-based dielectric materials have received significant attention for energy storage capacitor applications due to their outstanding properties of high power density, fast charge–discharge capabilities, and excellent temperature stability relative to batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and dielectric polymers.
Dielectric capacitors have high power density but limited energy storage density, with a more rapid energy transfer than electrochemical capacitors and batteries; this is because they store energy via dielectric polarization in response to the external electrical fields rather than chemical reactions [3, 12, 13, 35].
Multiscale understanding of dielectric capacitors Generally, dielectric capacitors are composed of dielectrics, conductive electrodes, and other encapsulation materials. As the key components, the dielectric materials play a critical role of determining the energy density U.
Next, the methods of improving the energy storage density of dielectric capacitors are concluded. For ceramic blocks and films, methods, such as element doping, multi-phase solid solution/coexistence structure, “core–shell” structure/laminated structure, and other interface adjustments, are effective to increase the energy storage density.
