Amorphous films have excellent breakdown strength and energy storage efficiency, and have broad application prospects in dielectric film capacitors. However, its low polarization greatly limits the increase of energy storage density. In this paper, (Ba 0.92-x Bi 0.08 La x )(Ti 0.96-0.5x Ni 0.04+0.5x )O 3 (BBLTN) amorphous films were fabricated by sol-gel method. The effects of Bi, Ni and La ion doping on the electrical properties and energy storage properties of the films were studied. When x = 0.04, the film can produce an ultra-high recoverable energy storage density of 121.7 J cm −3 and an efficiency of 70.6%, and possesses outstanding stability at 20 °C–130 °C and 1-10 5 cycles. Combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, researchers believe that the improvement of energy storage performance may be related to the dipoles formed by N i N i . . and T i T i ′ defects induced by multi-ion doping. This contribution provides a feasible way for the research of high-performance dielectric film capacitors.

In the search for dielectric material with high energy storage density, a ceramic system of 0.8Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 –0.2K 1- x Li x TaO 3 (NBT-KLT- x , x = 0.1–0.5) is proposed in this work. The addition of Li 2 CO 3 is conducive to the decrease of sintering temperature of ceramics. Moreover, the XRD diffraction data of sintered ceramics indicate that pure perovskite phase showing the pseudo-cubic structure can be achieved when x = 0.1–0.3 while the excessive addition of Li 2 CO 3 leads to the formation of pyrochlore phase. Based on the Rietveld refinement and Raman results, the Li + doping in the NBT-KLT- x solid solutions ( x = 0.1–0.3) can improve the phase content of P 4bm, induce the lattice expansion and structural change towards a higher-symmetry phase. TEM observation also demonstrates the reduction in the size of polar nanoregions. With increasing x from 0.1 to 0.5, both the oxygen vacancy concentration and grain size display a tendency to decrease first and then increase. For the x = 0.2 ceramics with the lowest oxygen vacancy concentration and grain size, the largest electrical breakdown strength and lowest polarization hysteresis are achieved, giving an excellent recoverable energy storage density of 4.86 J/cm 3 under 32 kV/mm, accompanied by a high efficiency of 90.46 %. Additionally, the recoverable energy density achieves a high level of ∼3.5 J/cm 3 and energy storage efficiency is larger than 80 % over 28–160 °C, suggesting the outstanding temperature stability.

Antiferroelectric (AFE) materials have gained significant attention due to their potential multifunctionality. However, prototypical AFE materials, such as PbHfO3, suffer from poor sinterability, complex structures, and a high critical electric field, making it difficult for them to achieve expected performances. Here we adopt a synergistic design strategy, namely by inducing ferroelectrically active ions into the PbHfO3 structural matrix to soften the AFE order and induce a large maximum polarization, to enable the development of novel PbHfO3-based AFE materials of high performance suitable for applications under low electric fields. To implement this strategy, a novel solid solution of (1 − x)PbHfO3–xPb(Zn1/2W1/2)O3 is designed and prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Its crystal structure, microstructures, energy storage and strain performances, and phase transition behaviors are systematically investigated from both experimental and theoretical aspects. The resulting material exhibits a high recoverable energy storage density of 5.03 J cm−3 and a large strain of 0.60% under a relatively low electric field of 200 kV cm−1, which proves the effectiveness of our synergistic strategy. Phenomenological modeling investigation associates these performances with the sharp jump in induced polarization and strain, which is consistent with the experimental results. This work not only results in a novel AFE candidate material for high energy storage and strain applications but also, more importantly, opens up a new way to design high-performance AFE materials with multifunctionality via softening the AFE order.

Improving energy storage density and efficiency of antiferroelectric materials could promote their use within energy storage field, particularly in the context of pulsed power sources. In this study, Sm and Hf co-doped silver niobate (AgNbO 3 ; AN) ceramics were prepared using traditional solid-state method. Comprehensive analysis of crystal structure, microstructure, defects, absorbance, and energy storage performance of the material was conducted. Results reveal that co-doping increased the concentration of cation vacancies and band gap, decreased the M 1 –M 2 and M 2 –M 3 phase transition temperatures, and enhanced the antiferroelectric phase stability and energy storage performance. The (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited energy storage density of 5.35 J/cm 3 and energy storage efficiency of 73% at electric field ( E ) of 295 kV/cm, demonstrating significant improvement. The (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited excellent thermal stability (<5% in the range of 25 °C-125 °C) and frequency stability (<3% in the range of 1–100 Hz under E = 290 kV/cm). Additionally, the (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited ultrahigh discharge speed (∼18 μs) and high discharge energy density (4.9 J/cm 3 ). These advantages make these ceramics promising materials for energy storage applications.

The commercial high-temperature dielectric aromatic polyetherimide (PEI), due to the electron conjugation between aromatic rings in molecular chains, causing an exponential increase in conduction loss, which results in a sharp decline in capacitive performance at elevated temperatures and electric fields. Here, an all-organic dielectric based on molecular isolation strategy is proposed, attempting to suppress the conduction loss and improve the high-temperature capacitive performance of PEI by introducing the cyclodextrin (CD) with large ring-like structure and amounts of hydroxyl groups. The addition of CD expands the interchain spacing of PEI, interrupts the electron conjugation of aromatic rings and hinders the formation of electronic channels between molecular chains. As results, CD/PEI composites show enhanced breakdown strength ( E b ) (increased by 24 %) and suppressed leakage current (reduced by 220 %), with much lower energy loss than that of pure PEI. The 1.5 wt% CD/PEI all-organic composite achieves an energy storage density ( U e ) of 5.12 J cm −3 with charge-discharge efficiencies ( η ) > 90 %. It achieves stable cyclability over 100,000 cycles at 150 °C compared with 4217 cycles of pure PEI. This work offers an innovative strategy for the fabrication of all-organic composite dielectrics with high U e and η simultaneously at harsh environment.

Nanofillers and polymer matrices are utilized to construct nanocomposites, offering a promising approach to enhance energy storage performance in harsh conditions. This strategy relies on structural design to introduce deep charge traps that regulate carrier transport within the material. However, comprehensive studies combining theoretical and experimental methods to elucidate how trap introduction by nanofillers improves capacitive performance remain limited. Here, we in-situ synthesized alumina (AO) nanosheets via a hydrothermal method and fabricated uniformly dispersed nanocomposites with polyimide (PI) as the matrix. Energy band theory revealed that AO nanosheets introduced deep charge traps at the PI-AO interface, substantially reducing leakage current density. High-resolution Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) experimentally confirmed the presence of interfacial deep charge traps at the nanofiller/polymer interface. Thermally stimulated discharge current (TSDC) was further measured to characterize variations in trap depth and density among different materials. At 150 °C, the optimized nanocomposite achieved a high energy storage density of 2.72 J cm −3 with a charge–discharge efficiency exceeding 90 %, corresponding to approximately 448 % of the performance of pristine PI. This work bridges critical gaps between experimental observations and theoretical mechanisms, clarifying the role of interfacial charge traps in nanocomposite performance.

A new dipolar glass polymer, sulfonylated poly(ether ether ketone) (PPLM–PEEK-SO2), was designed and synthesized using the postfunctionalization of o-cresolphthalein units. The methyl sulfonyl group, as a side chain with a large dipole moment of 4.25 D, could well utilize the free volume (FV) provided by the rigid skeleton structure. This enhanced orientational polarization resulted in a high dielectric constant of 4.55 and a low loss of 0.0057 at 25 °C and 100 Hz for PPLM–PEEK-SO2. In addition, PPLM–PEEK exhibited excellent discharge energy density, and the discharge efficiency (η) maintained about 97% at room temperature when the electric field increased from 50 to 500 MV/m. And even at 150 °C and 300 MV/m, it can also be as high as 95.42%, which is suitable for high-temperature energy storage. Moreover, PPLM–PEEK-SO2 exhibited a higher energy storage density, such as 3.8 J/cm3 at 100 °C and 450 MV/m.

Potassium niobate sodium-based ceramics with unique optical and electrical properties are used to develop transparent energy storage capacitors. The (1- x )K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 - x Bi(Sr 0.5 Hf 0.5 )O 3 (KNN-BSH, x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) ceramics are prepared and intensively investigated in this work. The results show that the average grain of KNN-BSH ceramics reaches a minimum of 0.64 μm, owing to the effective suppression of grain growth by (Sr 0.5 Hf 0.5 ) 3+ doping at the B-site. The KNN-BSH ceramics exhibit pseudo-cubic phases and are excellent relaxation ferroelectric ceramics. In particular, the total energy storage density ( W total ) of 0.95KNN-0.05BSH ceramic is 3.94 J/cm 3 , the recoverable energy storage density ( W rec ) is 2.85 J/cm 3 , and the discharge time ( t 0.9 ) is 0.92 μs, which is optimal for comprehensive performance. Besides, the band gap of 0.975KNN-0.025BSH reaches a maximum value of 3.13 eV with a high transmittance of about 57.3 % at a wavelength of 950 nm. The results indicate that KNN-BSH ceramics can be an alternative for transparent energy storage materials.

Dielectric polymer capacitors are widely used in electronic power systems, pulse power systems, and hybrid vehicles due to their excellent charging-discharging rates as well as ultrahigh power density. However, a grimness challenge is to achieve both high energy storage density (Ue) and high efficiency (η). Herein, we report a three-layer structured polymer-based nanocomposite, in which the outer insulation-layers are composed of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) with polyetherimide (PEI), while Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 nanofibers (BSTNFs) with PEI as the inner polarization-layer. The three-layer structure effectively combines the advantages of each functional layer, offering high interfacial polarization and high breakdown strength, and consequently leading to an enhanced Ue of the nanocomposites. Consequently, an ultrahigh Ue of 20.96 J/cm3 accompanied with an outstanding η of 95.74% can be obtained in the optimized composition with the inner layer containing 5 vol% BSTNFs, which is 4.78 times as high as that of the pure PEI film (4.38 J/cm3). Notably, the nanocomposite obtains a satisfactory high-temperature performance even under harsh environments (Ue = 10.84 J/cm3, η > 80%, 150 °C), thereby manifesting a substantial application potential. Therefore, this study offers a novel and promising route to high-performance polymer-based dielectrics.

Flexible dielectric materials have given rise to extensive attention in power electronics and other fields because of their outstanding superiorities such as high-power density. However, how to effectively heighten the energy storage density of the dielectric is a long-term challenge. The single fillers introduced tends to focus on enhancing the insulating or polarized properties of the composite, which limits further improvements in energy storage density. In this paper, through the co-doped of insulating boron nitride (BNNS) and polarized titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) two-dimensional nanosheets, the polarization strength is enhanced, and the breakdown strength can maintain at a high level, then an excellent energy storage density of 20.08J/cm 3 and charge–discharge efficiency of 73 % are obtained. Meanwhile, the co-doped composite has great stability and an ultrahigh power density close to 5 times of BOPP. This study offers a guidance for the reasonable design of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) polymer composite with excellent electric storage properties.

Flexible antiferroelectric ( AFE ) Pb 0.94 La 0.04 Zr 0.97 Ti 0.03 O 3 (PLZT) thick-film capacitors were fabricated on nickel foil substrates using sol-gel method. The thick PLZT film shows pure perovskite phase with dense microstructure. The discharge energy-storage properties of the thick PLZT film are directly evaluated by the resistance-inductance-capacitance ( RLC ) circuit. The maximum value of the discharge energy-storage density ( W dis ) is 15.8 J/cm 3 at 1400 kV/cm and 90% of the corresponding energy is released in a short time of about 250 ns. In addition, the W dis and discharge time could be adjusted by the bent radius of the film, which provides a simple and feasible solution for the regulation of the electrical performance. Furthermore, the flexible AFE film exhibits good mechanical properties under cycling tests with bending radii down to 2.5 mm and 1500 rounds. This work shows a critical significance in fabricating flexible AFE capacitors for application in modern electronics and electrical power systems.

Dielectric capacitors with high recoverable energy density are in high demand for their application in electrical and electronic systems. Among lead-free dielectric materials, silver niobate (AgNbO 3 ) has attracted growing interest due to its superior energy storage density at room temperature. The field-induced phase transition from antiferroelectric (AFE) phase to ferroelectric (FE) phase contributes to its large energy density. In this work, pure perovskite silver niobate ceramics were fabricated in an oxygen atmosphere by the solid-state reaction technique. The Pbcm orthorhombic phase of AgNbO 3 was closely observed using the Rietveld refinement method to provide explanation for the origin of high spontaneous polarization within a unit cell. Local structural analysis via piezoelectric force microscopy revealed the existence of ferroelectric nano domains, which may contribute to the high energy storage efficiency (η = 99.9926%) in AgNbO 3 at low electric fields. The phase transitions of AgNbO 3 were also investigated via the dependence of the dielectric permittivity (ε′ and ε″) and loss angle tangent (tanδ) on temperatures, providing insights into the further modification of AgNbO 3 .
