Abstract
High-temperature dielectric polymers are in high demand for powering applications in extreme environments. Here, we have developed high-temperature homopolymer dielectrics with anisotropy by leveraging the hierarchical structure in semicrystalline polymers. The lamellae have been aligned parallel to the surface in the dielectric films. This structural arrangement resembles the horizontal alignment of nanosheet fillers in polymer nanocomposites and nanosheet-like lamellae in block copolymers, which has been proven to provide the optimal topological structure for electrical energy storage. The unique ordering of lamellae in our dielectric films endue a significantly increased breakdown strength and a reduced leakage current compared to amorphous films. This novel approach of enhancing the capacitive energy storage properties by controlled orientation of lamellae in homopolymer offers a new perspective for the design of high-temperature polymer dielectrics.

Abstract
Incorporating ultralow loading of nanoparticles into polymers has realized increases in dielectric constant and breakdown strength for excellent energy storage. However, there are still a series of tough issues to be dealt with, such as organic solvent uses, which face enormous challenges in scalable preparation. Here, a new strategy of dual in situ synthesis is proposed, namely polymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) synchronizes with growth of calcium borate nanoparticles, making polyester nanocomposites from monomers directly. Importantly, this route is free of organic solvents and surface modification of nanoparticles, which is readily accessible to scalable synthesis of polyester nanocomposites. Meanwhile, uniform dispersion of as ultralow as 0.1 wt% nanoparticles and intense bonding at interfaces have been observed. Furthermore, the PET-based nanocomposite displays obvious increases in both dielectric constant and breakdown strength as compared to the neat PET. Its maximum discharged energy density reaches 15 J cm-3 at 690 MV m-1 and power density attains 218 MW cm-3 under 150 Ω resistance at 300 MV m-1, which is far superior to the current dielectric polymers that can be produced at large scales. This work presents a scalable, safe, low-cost, and environment-friendly route toward polymer nanocomposites with superior capacitive performance.

Abstract
Owing to their excellent discharged energy density over a broad temperature range, polymer nanocomposites offer immense potential as dielectric materials in advanced electrical and electronic systems, such as intelligent electric vehicles, smart grids and renewable energy generation. In recent years, various nanoscale approaches have been developed to induce appreciable enhancement in discharged energy density. In this Review, we discuss the state-of-the-art polymer nanocomposites with improved energy density from three key aspects: dipole activity, breakdown resistance and heat tolerance. We also describe the physical properties of polymer nanocomposite interfaces, showing how the electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics impact energy storage performances and how they are interrelated. Further, we discuss multi-level nanotechnologies including monomer design, crosslinking, polymer blending, nanofiller incorporation and multilayer fabrication. We conclude by presenting the current challenges and future opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Recently, due to the advantages of superior compatibility, fewer interface defects, and a high electric breakdown field, all-organic dielectric composites have attracted significant research interest. In this investigation, we produced all-organic P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer/PI (terp/PI) composite films by incorporating a small amount of terpolymer into PI substrates for high energy density capacitor applications. The resulting terp/PI-5 (5% terpolymer) composite films exhibit a permittivity of 3.81 at 1 kHz, which is 18.7% greater than that of pristine PI (3.21). Furthermore, the terp/PI-5 film exhibited the highest energy density (9.67 J/cm3) and a relatively high charge-discharge efficiency (84.7%) among the terp/PI composite films. The energy density of the terp/PI-5 film was increased by 59.8% compared to that of the pristine PI film. The TSDC results and band structure analysis revealed the presence of deeper traps in the terp/PI composites, contributing to the suppression of leakage current and improved charge-discharge efficiency. Furthermore, durability tests confirm the stability of the composite films under extended high-temperature exposure and cycling, establishing their viability for practical applications.

Abstract
The development and integration of high-performance electronic devices are critical in advancing energy storage with dielectric capacitors. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) (PVTC), as an energy storage polymer, exhibits high-intensity polarization in low electric strength fields. However, a hysteresis effect can result in significant residual polarization, leading to a severe energy loss, which impacts the resultant energy storage density and charge/discharge efficiency. In order to modify the polarization properties of the polymer, a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with linear characteristics has been selected as an insulating layer and combined with the PVTC ferroelectric polarization layer to construct PVTC/BOPP bilayer films. The hetero-structure and polarization characteristics of the bilayer film have been systematically studied. Adjusting the BOPP volume content to 67% resulted in a discharge energy density of 10.1 J/cm3 and an energy storage efficiency of 80.9%. The results of this study have established the mechanism for a composite structure regulation of macroscopic energy storage performance. These findings can provide a basis for the effective application of ferroelectric polymer-based composites in dielectric energy storage.

Abstract
Although numerous polymer-based composites exhibit excellent dielectric permittivity, their dielectric performance in various applications is severely hampered by high dielectric loss induced by interfacial space charging and a leakage current. Herein, we demonstrate that embedding molten salt etched MXene into a poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE-CFE))/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) hybrid matrix induces strong interfacial interactions, forming a close-packed inner polymer layer and leading to significantly suppressed dielectric loss and markedly increased dielectric permittivity over a broad frequency range. The intensive molecular interaction caused by the dense electronegative functional terminations (-O and -Cl) in MXene results in restricted polymer chain movement and dense molecular arrangement, which reduce the transportation of the mobile charge carriers. Consequently, compared to the neat polymer, the dielectric constant of the composite with 2.8 wt % MXene filler increases from ∼52 to ∼180 and the dielectric loss remains at the same value (∼0.06) at 1 kHz. We demonstrate that the dielectric loss suppression is largely due to the formation of close-packed interfaces between the MXene and the polymer matrix.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics with high dielectric constant are urgently demanded for potential electrical and pulsed power applications. The design of polymers with side chains containing dipolar groups is considered an effective method for preparing materials with a high dielectric constant and low loss. This study synthesizes and comprehensively compare the dielectric properties of novel polyimides with side chains containing urea (BU-PI), carbamate (BC-PI), and sulfonyl (BS-PI) functional groups. The novel polyimides exhibit relatively high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss values due to the enhanced orientational polarization and suppressed dipole-dipole interactions of dipolar groups. In particular, BU-PI containing urea pendant groups presents the highest dielectric constant of 6.14 and reasonably low dielectric loss value of 0.0097. The strong γ transitions with low activation energies derived from dielectric spectroscopy measurements have been further evaluated to demonstrate the enhanced free rotational motion of urea pendant dipoles. In energy storage applications, BU-PI achieves a discharged energy density of 6.92 J cm-3 and a charge-discharge efficiency above 83% at 500 MV m-1. This study demonstrates that urea group, as dipolar pendant group, can provide polymers with better dielectric properties than the most commonly used sulfonyl groups.

Abstract
High-performance dielectric nanocomposites are promising candidates for thin-film dielectric capacitors for high-power pulse devices. However, the existing nanocomposites suffer from low charge-discharge efficiency (η), which results in severe generation and accumulation of Joule heat and subsequently the failure of the devices. In this work, we report nacre-inspired dielectric nanocomposites with outstanding η, which are enabled by superspreading shear flow-induced highly aligned two-dimensional (2D) nanofillers. Taking boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) as an example, the highly aligned BNNS in the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based nanocomposites contributes to a highly efficient Coulomb blockade effect for the injected charge carriers. Therefore, the bioinspired nanocomposites with highly aligned BNNS show significantly reduced dielectric loss (tan δ) (63.3%) and improved η (144.8%), compared to the ones with partially aligned nanosheets fabricated by solution casting. Furthermore, the optimized loading content of BNNS is as low as 3.6 wt %. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit reduced tan δ (0.018) and enhanced Eb (687 kV/mm), η (71%), and Ue (16.74 J/cm3). Our work demonstrates that the realization of high alignment of 2D nanofillers enabled by the superspreading shear flow is a promising way for the development of high-performance dielectric nanocomposites.

Abstract
In response to the increasing demand for miniaturization and lightweight equipment, as well as the challenges of application in harsh environments, there is an urgent need to explore the new generation of high-temperature-resistant film capacitors with excellent energy storage properties. In this study, we report an all-organic composite system based on two polymers with similar densities and high glass transition temperatures, achieving a synergistic effect of dielectric constant and breakdown strength. The preparation of the composite is simple, overcoming the challenge of dispersing nanoparticles in traditional organic-inorganic systems. The high polarity of polyethersulfone can modulate the polarization properties of the composites and, through a physical electrostatic effect, inhibit dipole relaxation, further reducing the current density of the composite dielectric at high temperatures, resulting in a significant improvement in insulating properties. The 9 : 1 composite dielectric at 150 °C demonstrates an energy storage density of up to 6.4 J cm-3 and an efficiency of 82.7%. This study offers a promising candidate material and development direction for the next-generation energy storage capacitors with broad application prospects.

Abstract
Mixing fillers featured with wide band gaps in polymers can effectively meet the requirement of higher energy storage densities. However, the fundamental relationship between the crystal structures of fillers and the dielectric properties of the corresponding nanocomposites is still unclear. Accordingly, we introduced ultralow contents of the synthesized cubic Hafnium dioxide (c-HfO2) or monoclinic Hafnium dioxide (m-HfO2) as deep traps into poly(ether imide) (PEI) to explore their effects on dielectric properties and the charge-blocking mechanism. m-HfO2/PEI showed better charge trapping due to the higher electron affinity and deeper trap energy. At room temperature, the 0.4 vol % m-HfO2/PEI maintains an ultralow dielectric loss of 0.008 while obtaining a dielectric constant twice that of pure PEI at 1 kHz, simultaneously outperforming in terms of leakage current density, breakdown strength (452 kV mm-1), discharge energy density (Ud, 5.03 J cm-3), charge-discharge efficiency (η, 92%), and dielectric thermal stability. At 125 °C, it exhibits a considerable Ud of 2.48 J cm-3 and a high η of 85% at 300 kV mm-1, surpassing the properties of pure PEI. This promising work opens up a new path for studying HfO2-derived dielectrics with unique crystal structures.

Abstract
The commercial capacitor using dielectric biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) can work effectively only at low temperatures (less than 105 °C). Polyphenylene oxide (PPO), with better heat resistance and a higher dielectric constant, is promising for capacitors operating at elevated temperatures, but its charge-discharge efficiency (η) degrades greatly under high fields at 125 °C. Here, SiO2 layers are magnetron sputtered on both sides of the PPO film, forming a composite material of SiO2/PPO/SiO2. Due to the wide bandgap and high Young's modulus of SiO2, the breakdown strength (Eb) of this composite material reaches 552 MV/m at 125 °C (PPO: 534 MV/m), and the discharged energy density (Ue) under Eb improves to 3.5 J/cm3 (PPO: 2.5 J/cm3), with a significantly enhanced η of 89% (PPO: 70%). Furthermore, SiO2/PPO/SiO2 can discharge a Ue of 0.45 J/cm3 with an η of 97% at 125 °C under 200 MV/m (working condition in hybrid electric vehicles) for 20,000 cycles, and this value is higher than the energy density (∼0.39 J/cm3 under 200 MV/m) of BOPP at room temperature. Interestingly, the metalized SiO2/PPO/SiO2 film exhibits valuable self-healing behavior. These results make PPO-based dielectrics promising for high-temperature capacitor applications.

Abstract
The growing demand for high energy storage materials has garnered substantial attention towards lead-free ferroelectric nanocrystals (NCs), such as BaTiO3 (BTO), for next-generation multilayer ceramic capacitors. Notably, it remains challenging to accurately measure the dielectric constant and polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop for BTO NCs. Herein, we report on nonlinear ferroelectric characteristics of BTO NCs via a polymer nanocomposite approach. Specifically, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/BTO nanocomposite films of 3-10 μm thickness, containing 380 nm tetragonal-phased and 60 nm cubic-phased BTO NCs with uniform particle dispersion, were prepared. Theoretical deconvolution of the broad experimental P-E loops of the PVP/BTO NC composite films revealed three contributions, that is, the linear deformational polarization of the nanocomposites, the polarization of BTO NCs (Pp), and the polarization from strong particle-particle interactions. Using different mixing rules and nonlinear dielectric analysis, the overall dielectric constants of BTO NCs were obtained, from which the internal field in the BTO NCs (Ep) was estimated. Consequently, the Pp-Ep hysteresis loops were obtained for the BTO380 and BTO60 NCs. Interestingly, BTO380 exhibited square-shaped ferroelectric loops, whereas BTO60 displayed slim paraelectric loops. This work presents a robust and versatile route to extract the Pp-Ep loops of ferroelectric NCs from polymer/ceramic nanocomposites.

Abstract
Dielectric polymers possessing high energy and low losses are of great interest for electronic and electric devices and systems. Nanocomposites in which high dielectric constant (high-K) nanofillers at high loading (>10 vol%) are admixed with polymer matrix have been investigated for decades, aiming at enhancing the dielectric performance, but with limited success. In 2017, it is discovered that reducing nanofiller loading to less than 0.5 vol% in polymer matrix can lead to marked enhancement in dielectric performance. Here, we reviewed the discoveries and advances of this unconventional approach to enhance dielectric performance of polymers. Experimental studies uncover that nanofillers lead to interfaces changes over distances larger than 100 nm. Experimental and modeling results show that introducing free volume in polymers reduces the constraints of glass matrix on dipoles in polymers, leading to enhanced K without affecting breakdown. Moreover, low-K nanofillers at low-volume loading serve as deep traps for charges, lowering conduction losses and increasing breakdown strength. The dilute nanocomposites provide new avenues for designing dielectric polymers with high K, minimal losses, and robust breakdown fields, thus achieving high energy and power density and low loss for operation over a broad temperature regime.

Abstract
Ferroelectric polymer-based electrocaloric effect may lead to sustainable heat pumps and refrigeration owing to the large electrocaloric-induced entropy changes, flexible, lightweight and zero-global warming potential. Herein, low-k nanodiamonds are served as extrinsic dielectric fillers to fabricate polymeric nanocomposites for electrocaloric refrigeration. As low-k nanofillers are naturally polar-inactive, hence they have been widely applied for consolidate electrical stability in dielectrics. Interestingly, we observe that the nanodiamonds markedly enhances the electrocaloric effect in relaxor ferroelectrics. Compared with their high-k counterparts that have been extensively studied in the field of electrocaloric nanocomposites, the nanodiamonds introduces the highest volumetric electrocaloric enhancement (~23%/vol%). The resulting polymeric nanocomposite exhibits concurrently improved electrocaloric effect (160%), thermal conductivity (175%) and electrical stability (125%), which allow a fluid-solid coupling-based electrocaloric refrigerator to exhibit an improved coefficient of performance from 0.8 to 5.3 (660%) while maintaining high cooling power (over 240 W) at a temperature span of 10 K.

Abstract
Dielectric ceramic capacitors with high recoverable energy density (Wrec) and efficiency (η) are of great significance in advanced electronic devices. However, it remains a challenge to achieve high Wrec and η parameters simultaneously. Herein, based on density functional theory calculations and local structure analysis, the feasibility of developing the aforementioned capacitors is demonstrated by considering Bi0.25Na0.25Ba0.5TiO3 (BNT-50BT) as a matrix material with large local polarization and structural distortion. Remarkable Wrec and η of 16.21 J/cm3 and 90.5% have been achieved in Bi0.25Na0.25Ba0.5Ti0.92Hf0.08O3 via simple chemical modification, which is the highest Wrec value among reported bulk ceramics with η greater than 90%. The examination results of local structures at lattice and atomic scales indicate that the disorderly polarization distribution and small nanoregion (∼3 nm) lead to low hysteresis and high efficiency. In turn, the drastic increase in local polarization activated via the ultrahigh electric field (80 kV/mm) leads to large polarization and superior energy storage density. Therefore, this study emphasizes that chemical design should be established on a clear understanding of the performance-related local structure to enable a targeted regulation of high-performance systems.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics with excellent high-temperature capacitive energy storage performance are in urgent demand for modern power electronic devices and high-voltage electrical systems. Nevertheless, the energy storage capability usually degrades dramatically at increased temperatures, owing to the exponentially increased conduction loss. Herein, a trace of commercially available aluminum nitride (AlN) nanoparticles is incorporated into the poly(ether imide) (PEI) matrix to inhibit the conduction loss. The nanostructured AlN component with a large specific surface area can provide abundant sites for the collision of carriers. More importantly, the generated new trap energy levels can immobilize the carriers, accordingly contributing to the reduction in leakage current. From this, the discharged energy density at 150 °C of PEI composites increases by 82.13% from 2.63 J/cm3 for pristine PEI to 4.79 J/cm3 for PEI composites. This work establishes a facile approach to enhancing the high-temperature capacitive performance of polymer dielectrics.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics capable of operating efficiently at high electric fields and elevated temperatures are urgently demanded by next-generation electronics and electrical power systems. While inorganic fillers have been extensively utilized to improved high-temperature capacitive performance of dielectric polymers, the presence of thermodynamically incompatible organic and inorganic components may lead to concern about the long-term stability and also complicate film processing. Herein, zero-dimensional polymer dots with high electron affinity are introduced into photoactive allyl-containing poly(aryl ether sulfone) to form the all-organic polymer composites for high-temperature capacitive energy storage. Upon ultraviolet irradiation, the crosslinked polymer composites with polymer dots are efficient in suppressing electrical conduction at high electric fields and elevated temperatures, which significantly reduces the high-field energy loss of the composites at 200 °C. Accordingly, the ultraviolet-irradiated composite film exhibits a discharged energy density of 4.2 J cm-3 at 200 °C. Along with outstanding cyclic stability of capacitive performance at 200 °C, this work provides a promising class of dielectric materials for robust high-performance all-organic dielectric nanocomposites.

Abstract
Polymers are essential components of modern-day materials and are widely used in various fields. The dielectric constant, a key physical parameter, plays a fundamental role in the light-, electricity-, and magnetism-related applications of polymers, such as dielectric and electrical insulation, battery and photovoltaic fabrication, sensing and electrical contact, and signal transmission and communication. Over the past few decades, numerous efforts have been devoted to engineering the intrinsic dielectric constant of polymers, particularly by tailoring the induced and orientational polarization modes and ferroelectric domain engineering. Investigations into these methods have guided the rational design and on-demand preparation of polymers with desired dielectric constants. This review article exhaustively summarizes the dielectric constant engineering of polymers from molecular to mesoscopic scales, with emphasis on application-driven design and on-demand polymer synthesis rooted in polymer chemistry principles. Additionally, it explores the key polymer applications that can benefit from dielectric constant regulation and outlines the future prospects of this field.

Colossal electrocaloric effect in an interface-augmented ferroelectric polymer. Science 2023; 382:1020-1026. [PMID: 38033074 DOI: 10.1126/science.adi7812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
The electrocaloric effect demands the maximized degree of freedom (DOF) of polar domains and the lowest energy barrier to facilitate the transition of polarization. However, optimization of the DOF and energy barrier-including domain size, crystallinity, multiconformation coexistence, polar correlation, and other factors in bulk ferroelectrics-has reached a limit. We used organic crystal dimethylhexynediol (DMHD) as a three-dimensional sacrificial master to assemble polar conformations at the heterogeneous interface in poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based terpolymer. DMHD was evaporated, and the epitaxy-like process induced an ultrafinely distributed, multiconformation-coexisting polar interface exhibiting a giant conformational entropy. Under a low electric field, the interface-augmented terpolymer had a high entropy change of 100 J/(kg·K). This interface polarization strategy is generally applicable to dielectric capacitors, supercapacitors, and other related applications.

Abstract
Metalized film capacitors with high-temperature capacitive performance are crucial components in contemporary electromagnetic energy systems. However, the fabrication of polymer-based dielectric composites with designed structures faces the challenge of balancing high energy density (Ue) and low energy loss induced by electric field distortion at the interfaces. Here, BN nanoparticles coated with a thin layer of aminobenzoic acid (ABA) voltage stabilizer are introduced into a copolymer of aryletherketone and 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine (P(AEK-BBP)). Our results demonstrate that the ABA voltage stabilizer, possessing high electron affinity, significantly improves the dispersion of BN particles within the matrix, mitigates electric field distortion, and creates effective charge traps. This, in turn, effectively suppresses high-temperature-induced Schottky emission and P-F emission, leading to a dramatic decrease in leakage loss. As a result, the optimized composite film, filled with 0.3 vol% m-ABA-BN particles, exhibites a Ue of 10.1 J cm-3 and a η of 90% at 150 °C and 600 MV m-1, surpassing the majority of previously reported materials. Furthermore, even after undergoing 100 000 cycles at 150 °C and 250 MV m-1, the composite dielectric films demonstrate favorable charge-discharge characteristics. This work offers a novel approach to fabricate polymer-based dielectric materials with high-temperature resistance and high discharging efficiency for long-term high energy storage applications.

Abstract
High-temperature dielectric polymers are becoming increasingly desirable for capacitive energy storage in renewable energy utilization, electrified transportation, and pulse power systems. Current dielectric polymers typically require robust aromatic molecular frameworks to ensure structural thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Nevertheless, the introduction of aromatic units compromises electrical insulation owing to pronounced π─π interactions that facilitate electron transport and eliminate the breakdown self-healing property owing to their high carbon content. Herein, an aromatic-free polynorborne copolymer exhibiting electrical conductivity-two orders of magnitude lower than that of state-of-the-art polyetherimide-at elevated temperatures and high electric fields owing to its large bandgap (≈4.64 eV) and short hopping conduction distance (≈0.63 nm) is described. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the copolymer can effectively suppress the excitation of high-field valence electrons. Furthermore, the incorporation of trace semiconductors results in high discharge density (3.73 J cm-3 ) and charge-discharge efficiency (95% at 150 °C), outperforming existing high-temperature dielectric polymers. The excellent electrical breakdown self-healing capability of the copolymer film at elevated temperatures further demonstrates its potential for use in dielectric capacitors capable of continuous operation under extreme conditions.

Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites with nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrices have attracted extensive attention due to their significantly improved overall performance, in which the nanoparticle-polymer interface plays a key role. Understanding the structures and properties of the interfacial region, however, remains a major challenge for polymer nanocomposites. Here, we directly observe the presence of two interfacial polymer layers around a nanoparticle in polar polymers, i.e., an inner bound polar layer (~10 nm thick) with aligned dipoles and an outer polar layer (over 100 nm thick) with randomly orientated dipoles. Our results reveal that the impacts of the local nanoparticle surface potential and interparticle distance on molecular dipoles induce interfacial polymer layers with different polar molecular conformations from the bulk polymer. The bilayer interfacial features lead to an exceptional enhancement in polarity-related properties of polymer nanocomposites at ultralow nanoparticle loadings. By maximizing the contribution of inner bound polar layer via a nanolamination design, we achieve an ultrahigh dielectric energy storage density of 86 J/cm3, far superior to state-of-the-art polymers and nanocomposites.

Abstract
Flexible polymer dielectrics for capacitive energy storage that can function well at elevated temperatures are increasingly in demand for continuously advancing and miniaturizing electrical devices. However, traditional high-resistance polymer dielectrics composed of aromatic backbones have a compromised band gap (Eg) and hence suffer from low breakdown strength and a huge loss at high temperatures. Here, based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, rigid and non-coplanar alicyclic segments are introduced into the polyimide backbone to overcome the incompatibility of a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and large Eg. Thanks to the large optical Eg (∼4.6 eV) and high Tg (∼277 °C), the all-alicyclic polyimide at 200 °C delivers a maximum discharge energy density (Ue) of 5.01 J cm-3 with a charge-discharge efficiency (η) of 78.1% at 600 MV m-1, and a record Ue of 2.55 J cm-3 at η = 90%, which is 10-fold larger than that of the state-of-art commercial polyetherimides (PEIs). In addition, compared with aromatic polyimides, the all-alicyclic polyimide possesses a better self-clearing characteristic due to a smaller ratio of carbon to hydrogen and oxygen, which facilitates its long-term reliability in practical applications.

Abstract
Ferroelectric materials are currently some of the most widely applied material systems and are constantly generating improved functions with higher efficiencies. Advancements in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based polymer ferroelectrics provide flexural, coupling-efficient, and multifunctional material platforms for applications that demand portable, lightweight, wearable, and durable features. We highlight the recent advances in fluoropolymer ferroelectrics, their energetic cross-coupling effects, and emerging technologies, including wearable, highly efficient electromechanical actuators and sensors, electrocaloric refrigeration, and dielectric devices. These developments reveal that the molecular and nanostructure manipulations of the polarization-field interactions, through facile defect biasing, could introduce enhancements in the physical effects that would enable the realization of multisensory and multifunctional wearables for the emerging immersive virtual world and smart systems for a sustainable future.

Abstract
Polypropylene film is the most important organic dielectric in capacitor technology; however, applications such as power electronic devices require more miniaturized capacitors and thinner dielectric films. The commercial biaxially oriented polypropylene film is losing the advantage of its high breakdown strength as it becomes thinner. This work carefully studies the breakdown strength of the film between 1 and 5 microns. The breakdown strength drops rapidly and hardly ensures that the capacitor reaches a volumetric energy density of 2 J/cm3. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray, and SEM analyses showed that this phenomenon has nothing to do with the crystallographic orientation and crystallinity of the film but is closely related to the non-uniform fibers and many voids produced by overstretching the film. Measures must be taken to avoid their premature breakdown due to high local electric fields. An improvement below 5 microns will maintain a high energy density and the important application of polypropylene films in capacitors. Without destroying the physical properties of commercial films, this work employs the ALD oxide coating scheme to augment the dielectric strength of a BOPP in the thickness range below 5 μm, especially its high temperature performance. Therefore, the problem of the reduction in dielectric strength and energy density caused by BOPP thinning can be alleviated.

Abstract
High-temperature polymer dielectrics have broad application prospects in next-generation microelectronics and electrical power systems. However, the capacitive energy densities of dielectric polymers at elevated temperatures are severely limited by carrier excitation and transport. Herein, a molecular engineering strategy is presented to regulate the bulk-limited conduction in the polymer by bonding amino polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (NH2 -POSS) with the chain ends of polyimide (PI). Experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the terminal group NH2 -POSS with a wide-bandgap of Eg ≈ 6.6 eV increases the band energy levels of the PI and induces the formation of local deep traps in the hybrid films, which significantly restrains carrier transport. At 200 °C, the hybrid film exhibits concurrently an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 3.45 J cm-3 and a high gravimetric energy density of 2.74 J g-1 , with the charge-discharge efficiency >90%, far exceeding those achieved in the dielectric polymers and nearly all other polymer nanocomposites. Moreover, the NH2 -POSS terminated PI film exhibits excellent charge-discharge cyclability (>50000) and power density (0.39 MW cm-3 ) at 200 °C, making it a promising candidate for high-temperature high-energy-density capacitors. This work represents a novel strategy to scalable polymer dielectrics with superior capacitive performance operating in harsh environments.

[PMID: 36929673 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202300510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
It is urgent to develop high-temperature dielectrics with high energy density and high energy efficiency for next-generation capacitor demands. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used due to their structural diversity and functionally adaptable properties. Doping of metal nodes in MOFs is an effective strategy to change the band gap and band edge positions of the original MOFs, which helps to improve their ability to bind charges as traps. In this work, the incorporation of ultralow loading (<1.5 wt%) of novel bimetallic MOFs (ZIF 8-67) into the polyetherimide (PEI) polymer matrix is exhibited. With the addition of ZIF 8-67, the breakdown strength and energy storage capacity of ZIF 8-67/PEI nanocomposites are significantly improved, especially at high temperatures (200 °C). For example, the energy densitiy of the 0.5 wt% ZIF 8-67/PEI nanocomposite is up to 2.96 J cm-3 , with an efficiency (η) > 90% at 150 °C. At 200 °C, the discharge energy density of 0.25 wt% ZIF 8-67/PEI nanocomposites can still reach 1.84 J cm-3 with a η > 90%, which is nine times higher than that of pure PEI (0.21 J cm-3 ) under the same conditions, and it is the largest improvement compared with the previous reports.

Abstract
For capacitive energy storage at elevated temperatures1-4, dielectric polymers are required to integrate low electrical conduction with high thermal conductivity. The coexistence of these seemingly contradictory properties remains a persistent challenge for existing polymers. We describe here a class of ladderphane copolymers exhibiting more than one order of magnitude lower electrical conductivity than the existing polymers at high electric fields and elevated temperatures. Consequently, the ladderphane copolymer possesses a discharged energy density of 5.34 J cm-3 with a charge-discharge efficiency of 90% at 200 °C, outperforming the existing dielectric polymers and composites. The ladderphane copolymers self-assemble into highly ordered arrays by π-π stacking interactions5,6, thus giving rise to an intrinsic through-plane thermal conductivity of 1.96 ± 0.06 W m-1 K-1. The high thermal conductivity of the copolymer film permits efficient Joule heat dissipation and, accordingly, excellent cyclic stability at elevated temperatures and high electric fields. The demonstration of the breakdown self-healing ability of the copolymer further suggests the promise of the ladderphane structures for high-energy-density polymer capacitors operating under extreme conditions.

Abstract
Polymer film capacitors have been widely used in electronics and electrical power systems due to their advantages of high power densities, fast charge-discharge speed, and great stability. However, the exponential increase of electrical conduction with temperature and applied electric field substantially degrades the capacitive performance of dielectric polymers at elevated temperatures. Here, the first example of controlling the energy level of charge traps in all-organic crosslinked polymers by tailoring molecular structures that significantly inhibit high-field high-temperature conduction loss, which largely differs from current approaches based on the introduction of inorganic fillers, is reported. The polymer network with optimized crosslinking structures exhibits an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 7.02 J cm-3 with charge/discharge efficiencies of >90% at 150 °C, far outperforming current dielectric polymers and composites. The charge-trapping effects in different crosslinked structures, as the origins of the marked improvements in the high-temperature capacitive performance, are comprehensively investigated experimentally and confirmed computationally. Moreover, excellent cyclability and self-healing features are demonstrated in the polymer film capacitors. This work offers a promising pathway of molecular structure design to scalable high-energy-density polymer dielectrics capable of operating under harsh environments.

Abstract
Innovative dielectric materials with high-temperature resistance and outstanding dielectric properties have attracted tremendous attention in advanced electronical fields. Polyimide(PI) is considered a promising candidate for the modern electronic industry due to its excellent dielectric properties and comprehensive properties. However, the limited-adjustable range of dielectric constant and the difficulty to obtain a high dielectric constant restrict the application of PI as high dielectric materials. Herein, a novel diamine monomer (2,2'-bis((methylsulfonyl)methyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (BSBPA)) containing a rigid biphenyl structure and high dipolar sulfonyl pendant groups is designed for high dielectric polyimides. The rigid biphenyl and polar sulfonyl pendant groups can reasonably optimize the molecular structure and orientational polarization of polyimides to improve their dielectric properties and thermal properties. Moreover, the effect of different bridge linkages on the dielectric properties is studied by using the different dianhydrides. Thus, the PI-BSBPA films especially the DSDA-BSBPA film (DSDA: 3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylic dianhydride) achieve great thermal properties (T5%d of 377 °C and Tg of 358 °C) and excellent dielectric properties (6.95 at 1 kHz) along with high discharged energy density of 5.25 J cm-3 and charge-discharge efficiency of 90%. The collaborative control of main-chain and side-chain engineering is effective to endow the polyimides with high-temperature tolerance and high dielectric performance.

Abstract
For the upsurge of high breakdown strength ([Formula: see text]), efficiency ([Formula: see text]), and discharge energy density ([Formula: see text]) of next-generation dielectrics, nanocomposites are the most promising candidates. However, the skillful regulation and application of nano-dielectrics have not been realized so far, because the mechanism of enhanced properties is still not explicitly apprehended. Here, we show that the electric field cavity array in the outer interface of nanosieve-substrate could modulate the potential distribution array and promote the flow of free charges to the hole, which works together with the intrinsic defect traps of active Co3O4 surface to trap and absorb high-energy carriers. The electric field and potential array could be regulated by the size and distribution of mesoporous in 2-dimensional nano-sieves. The poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-based nanocomposites film exhibits an [Formula: see text] of 803 MV m-1 with up to 80% enhancement, accompanied by high [Formula: see text] = 41.6 J cm-3 and [Formula: see text]≈ 90%, outperforming the state-of-art nano-dielectrics. These findings enable deeper construction of nano-dielectrics and provide a different way to illustrate the intricate modification mechanism from macro to micro.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics are key components for electrostatic capacitors in energy, transportation, military, and aerospace fields, where their operation temperature can be boosted beyond 125 °C. While most polymers bear poor thermal stability and severe dielectric loss at elevated temperatures, numerous linear polymers with linear D-E loops and low dielectric permittivity exhibit low loss and high thermal stability. Therefore, the broad prospect of electrostatic capacitors under extreme conditions is anticipated for linear polymers, along with intensive efforts to enhance their energy density with high efficiency in recent years. In this article, an overview of recent progress in linear polymers and their composites for high-energy-density electrostatic capacitors at elevated temperatures is presented. Three key factors determining energy storage performance, including polarization, breakdown strength, and thermal stability, and their couplings are discussed. Strategies including chain modulation, filler selection, and design of topological structure are summarized. Key parameters for electrical and thermal evaluations of polymer dielectrics are also introduced. At the end of this review, research challenges and future opportunities for better performance and industrialization of dielectrics based on linear polymers are concluded.

Abstract
The miniaturization of electronic devices and power systems for capacitive energy storage under harsh environments requires scalable high-quality ultrathin high-temperature dielectric films. To meet the need, ultrasonic spray-coating (USC) can be used. Novel polyimides with a dipolar group, CF3 (F-PI), and all-organic composites with trace organic semiconductor can serve as models. These scalable high-quality ultrathin films (≈2.6 and ≈5.2 µm) are successfully fabricated via USC. The high quality of the films is evaluated from the micro-millimeter scale to the sub-millimeter and above. The high glass transition temperature Tg (≈340 °C) and concurrent large bandgap Eg (≈3.53 eV) induced by weak conjugation from considerable interchain distance (≈6.2 Å) enable F-PI to be an excellent matrix delivering a discharge energy density with 90% discharge efficiency Uη90 of 2.85 J cm-3 at 200 °C. Further, the incorporation of a trace organic semiconductor leads to a record Uη90 of ≈4.39 J cm-3 at 200 °C due to the markedly enhanced breakdown strength caused by deep charge traps of ≈2 eV. Also, a USC-fabricated multilayer F-PI foil capacitor with ≈85 nF (six layers) has good performance at 150 °C. These results confirm that USC is an excellent technology to fabricate high-quality ultrathin dielectric films and capacitors.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics have attracted ever-increasing attention for electrical energy storage applications in recent years. Typically, polymer-based nanocomposite films are adopted to obtain polymer dielectrics with high energy density but sometime suffer from the inhomogeneous distribution of fillers. In this work, enhanced breakdown strength, suppressed dielectric loss and improved energy storage performances of PVDF film are concurrently achieved via the regulation of the sub-nano free volume, without introduction of any kinds of fillers and also minimizing the uneven distribution of the local electric field. The most improved breakdown strength is up to 488 MV m-1, with an enhancement of 60% compared with that of pristine PVDF, which enables the irradiated PVDF film to exhibit an improved polarization strength and charged energy density, giving rise to a maximum polarization strength of 3.55 μC cm-2 and a charged energy density of 9.75 J cm-3. More importantly, the irradiated PVDF film exhibits a superior discharged energy density of 7.91 J cm-3 which is 261% that of the pristine PVDF film, while maintaining the charge-discharge efficiency above 80%. In addition, the alteration of experimental breakdown strength with the increase of irradiation dose is found to be inversely correlated with the size variation of free volume holes, and the theoretical simulation of local electric field distribution further proves that the breakdown strength enhancement originates from the size shrinkage of free volume holes. The adjustment of free volume provides a potentially effective way to regulate the dielectric properties and energy storage performances of dipolar polymers.

Abstract
Polymer nanodielectrics render a great material platform for exhibiting the intrinsic nature of incorporated particles, particularly semiconducting types, and their interfaces with the polymer matrix. Incorporating the oxide fillers with higher loading percentages (>40 vol%) encounters particular challenges in terms of dispersion, homogeneous distribution, and porosity from the process. This work investigated the dielectric loss and electrical conduction behaviors of composites containing semiconducting ZnO varistor particles of various concentrations using the epoxy impregnation method. The ZnO varistor particles increased the dielectric permittivity, loss, and electrical conductivity of the epoxy composites into three different regimes (0−50 vol%, 50−70 vol%, 70−100 vol%), particularly under an electric bias field or at higher temperatures. For lower loading fractions below 50 vol%, the dielectric responses are dominated by the insulating epoxy matrix. When loading fractions are between 50 and 70 vol%, the dielectric and electric responses are mostly associated with the semiconducting interfaces of ZnO varistor particles and ZnO−epoxy. At above 70 vol%, the apparent increase in the dielectric loss and conductivity is primarily associated with the conducting ZnO core forming the interconnected channels of electric conduction. The foam-agent-assisted ZnO varistor particle framework appears to be a better way of fabricating composites of filler loading above 80 vol%. A physical model using an equivalent capacitor, diode, and resistor in the epoxy composites was proposed to explain the different property behaviors.

Abstract
Polymer nanodielectrics with high breakdown strength (Eb), high energy density (Ue) and low energy loss have great potential to be used as capacitive energy storage materials of high-voltage film capacitors in modern electrical and electronic equipment, such as smart grids, new energy vehicles and pulse powered weapons. Usually, inorganic nanoparticles with high dielectric constant (εr) are added into a high Eb polymer matrix to achieve simultaneously enhanced εr and Eb, thus leading to nanodielectrics with high Ue. However, this strategy was seriously hampered by the uneven distribution of electric fields and inhomogeneous microstructures of the multi-phased nanodielectrics until increasing research work was focused on interface engineering. Recent progress in nanocomposites suggests that interface engineering plays a critical role in regulating the polarization and breakdown behaviors of the nanodielectrics, such as balancing εr and Eb, enhancing Ue and energy discharge efficiency (η). This article highlights the recent advances in the interface engineering of polymer nanodielectrics, including theoretical models, interface engineering strategies, and the latest characterization and fabrication techniques of high performance nanodielectrics. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in the interface engineering of the nanodielectrics in film capacitors are discussed and predicted from a practical point of view.

Abstract
Dielectric capacitors with higher working voltage and power density are favorable candidates for renewable energy systems and pulsed power applications. A polymer with high breakdown strength, low dielectric loss, great scalability, and reliability is a preferred dielectric material for dielectric capacitors. However, their low dielectric constant limits the polymer to achieve satisfying energy density. Therefore, great efforts have been made to get high-energy-density polymer dielectrics. By compositional and structural tailoring, the synergic integrations of the multiple components and optimized structural design effectively improved the energy storage properties. This review presents an overview of recent advancements in the field of high-energy-density polymer dielectrics via compositional and structural tailoring. The surface/interfacial engineering conducted on both microscale and macroscale for polymer dielectrics is the focus of this review. Challenges and the promising opportunities for the development of polymer dielectrics for capacitive energy storage applications are presented at the end of this review.

Abstract
Energy storage film is one of the most important energy storage materials, while the performance of commercial energy storage films currently cannot meet the growing industrial requirements. Hence, this work presents a h-BN/PVDF/h-BN sandwich composite structure film prepared by laminating a large area of ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), the existence of which was confirmed by using an optical microscope and elemental composition analysis based on scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. This film has an ultrahigh dielectric strength of 464.7 kV/mm and a discharged energy density of up to 19.256 J/cm3, which is much larger than the commercial energy storage film biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) (<2.5 J/cm3). Although the thickness of the h-BN film is only 70 nm compared with that of PVDF (about 12 μm), the dielectric strength of the sandwich-structured film presents a great increase. It is because of the excellent insulation performance of the h-BN film that helps to resist the electron injection and migration under high electric field, and then suppress the formation and growth of the breakdown path, leading to an improvement of the charge–discharge efficiency.

Abstract
Polymer dielectrics with excellent thermal stability are the essential core material for thin film capacitors applied in a harsh-environment. However, the dielectric and mechanical properties of polymers are commonly deteriorated with temperature rising. Herein, polyetherimide (PEI)-based nanocomposites contained with SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2 -NPs) are fabricated by a solution casting method. It is found that the introduction of SiO2 -NPs decreases the electric conductivity and significantly enhances the breakdown strength of the nanocomposites, especially under high temperatures. As a result, the 5 vol% PEI/SiO2 -NPs nanocomposite film displays a superior dielectric energy storage performance, e.g., a discharged energy density of 6.30 J cm-3 and a charge-discharge efficiency of 90.5% measured at 620 MV m-1 and 150 °C. In situ scanning Kelvin probe microscopy characterization indicates that the charge carriers can be trapped in the interfacial regions between the polymer matrix and the SiO2 -NPs till the temperature reaches as high as 150 °C. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to fabricate high-temperature dielectric polymer nanocomposites by embedding inorganic nanoparticles and provides a method for directly detecting charge behavior at the nanoscale inside the matrix.

Abstract
Polymer dielectric capacitors are widely utilized in pulse power devices owing to their high power density. Because of the low dielectric constants of pure polymers, inorganic fillers are needed to improve their properties. The size and dielectric properties of fillers will affect the dielectric breakdown of polymer-based composites. However, the effect of fillers on breakdown strength cannot be completely obtained through experiments alone. In this paper, three of the most important variables affecting the breakdown strength of polymer-based composites are considered: the filler dielectric constants, filler sizes, and filler contents. High-throughput stochastic breakdown simulation is performed on 504 groups of data, and the simulation results are used as the machine learning database to obtain the breakdown strength prediction of polymer-based composites. Combined with the classical dielectric prediction formula, the energy storage density prediction of polymer-based composites is obtained. The accuracy of the prediction is verified by the directional experiments, including dielectric constant and breakdown strength. This work provides insight into the design and fabrication of polymer-based composites with high energy density for capacitive energy storage applications.

Abstract
Polymer materials are actively used in dielectric capacitors, in particular for energy storage applications. An enhancement of the stored energy density can be achieved in composites of electroactive polymers and dielectric inorganic fillers with a high dielectric permittivity. In this article, we report on the energy storage characteristics of composites of relaxor terpolymer P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) and BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (BZT) nanoparticles. The choice of materials was dictated by their large dielectric permittivity in the vicinity of room temperature. Free-standing composite films, with BZT contents up to 5 vol.%, were prepared by solution casting. The dielectric properties of the composites were investigated over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. It was shown that the addition of the BZT nanoparticles does not affect the relaxor behavior of the polymer matrix, but significantly increases the dielectric permittivity. The energy storage parameters were estimated from the analysis of the unipolar polarization hysteresis loops. The addition of the BZT filler resulted in the increasing discharge energy density. The best results were achieved for composites with 1.25–2.5 vol.% of BZT. In the range of electric fields to 150 MV/m, the obtained materials demonstrate a superior energy storage density compared to other P(VDF-TFE-CFE) based composites reported in the literature.

Abstract
High-performance temperature sensing is a key technique in modern Internet of Things. However, it is hard to attain a high precision while achieving a compact size for wireless sensing. Recently, metamaterials have been proposed to design a microwave, wireless temperature sensor, but precision is still an unsolved problem. By combining the high-quality factor (Q-factor) feature of a EIT-like metamaterial unit and the large temperature-sensing sensitivity performance of liquid metals, this paper designs and experimentally investigates an Hg-EIT-like metamaterial unit block for high figure-of-merit (FOM) temperature-sensing applications. A measured FOM of about 0.68 is realized, which is larger than most of the reported metamaterial-inspired temperature sensors.

Abstract
With the rapid development of next-generation electrical power equipment and microelectronics, there is an urgent demand for dielectric capacitor films which can work efficiently under extreme conditions. However, sharply increased electrical conduction and drastically degrading electric breakdown strength are inevitable at elevated temperatures. Herein, a facile but effective method is proposed to improve high temperature capacitive performance. We report that utilizing an inorganic insulation interlayer can significantly increase the discharge energy density with a high efficiency above 90% at 150 °C, i.e., a discharged energy density of 4.13 J cm-3 and an efficiency of >90% measured at 150 °C, which is superior to the state-of-the-art dielectric polymers. Combining the experimental results and computational simulations reveals that the remarkable improvement in energy storage performance at high temperature is attributed to the blocking effects that reduce the leakage current and maintain the breakdown strength. The proposed facile method provides great inspiration for developing polymer dielectric films with high capacitive performance under extreme environments.

Abstract
The developments of next-generation electric power systems and electronics demand for high temperature (≈150 °C), high energy density, high efficiency, scalable, and low-cost polymer-based dielectric capacitors are still scarce. Here, the nanocomposites based on polyimide-poly(amic acid) copolymers with a very low amount of boron nitride nanosheets are designed and synthesized. Under the actual working condition in hybrid electric vehicles of 200 MV m-1 and 150 °C, a high energy density of 1.38 J cm-3 with an efficiency higher than 96% is achieved. This is about 2.5 times higher than the room temperature energy density (≈0.39 J cm-3 under 200 MV m-1 ) of the commercially used biaxially oriented polypropylene, the benchmark of dielectric polymer. Especially, the energy density and efficiency at 150 °C show no sign of degradation after 20 000 cycles of charge-discharge test and 35 days' high-temperature endurance test. This research provides an effective and low-cost strategy to develop high-temperature polymer-based capacitors.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:24734-24742. [PMID: 36128369 PMCID: PMC9428769 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04480c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The free volume effects on the dielectric properties of the polymer are ambiguous, and the quantitative effect of free volume on the dielectric properties has rarely been systematically studied, especially in the high-elastic state dipolar (HESD) polymer. In this work, the free volume of dipolar poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is regulated by the addition of Al2O3, which greatly increase the size of free volume holes. Then the effect of free volume on the dielectric properties of PVDF/Al2O3 composites is discussed. The greatly enlarged size of free volume holes is believed to potentially generate disparate effects on dielectric constant under different frequencies in such kinds of HESD polymer-based composites, bringing about more remarkable frequency dependence of the dielectric constant. The influence of atomic-scale microstructure based on free volume further clarifies the free volume effects on the dielectric properties and provides valuable insights for the research of dielectric behaviour of polymer composites, which is constructive to design novel dielectric materials and further optimize the dielectric properties of dipolar dielectric polymer composites. The size variation of free volume holes is found to potentially generate disparate effects on dielectric constant under different frequencies in high-elastic state dipolar poly(vinylidene fluoride).![]()
