Ultra-high energy storage

Are high-performance dielectrics suitable for energy storage?

Benefiting from the synergistic effects, we achieved a high energy density of 20.8 joules per cubic centimeter with an ultrahigh efficiency of 97.5% in the MLCCs. This approach should be universally applicable to designing high-performance dielectrics for energy storage and other related functionalities.

Is ultrahigh recoverable energy storage density a bottleneck?

However, thus far, the huge challenge of realizing ultrahigh recoverable energy storage density (Wrec) accompanied by ultrahigh efficiency (η) still existed and has become a key bottleneck restricting the development of dielectric materials in cutting-edge energy storage applications.

Does lead-free bulk ceramics have ultrahigh energy storage density?

Significantly, the ultrahigh comprehensive performance (Wrec ~10.06 J cm −3 with η ~90.8%) is realized in lead-free bulk ceramics, showing that the bottleneck of ultrahigh energy storage density (Wrec ≥ 10 J cm −3) with ultrahigh efficiency (η ≥ 90%) simultaneously in lead-free bulk ceramics has been broken through.

Does high entropy affect energy storage performance?

As a result, a giant Wrec ~10.06 J cm −3 and an ultrahigh η ~90.8% are simultaneously achieved in the KNN-H ceramic, showing a significant promotional effect of the high-entropy strategy on the energy storage performance (236% for Eb, 1729% for Wrec, 68% for η, Supplementary Fig. 6c).

What is a high-performance energy storage capacitor?

High-performance energy storage capacitors on the basis of dielectric materials are critically required for advanced high/pulsed power electronic systems. Benefiting from the unique electrostatic energy storage mechanism, dielectric capacitors demonstrate the greatest power density, ultrafast charge/discharge rate, and long-life work time.

Can high entropy relaxor ferroelectric materials be used for energy storage?

This study provides evidence that developing high-entropy relaxor ferroelectric material via equimolar-ratio element design is an effective strategy for achieving ultrahigh energy storage characteristics. Our results also uncover the immense potential of tetragonal tungsten bronze-type materials for advanced energy storage applications.
