Abstract There is a growing need for high energy density capacitors in modern electric power supplies. The creation of nanocomposite systems based on one-dimensional nanofibers has shown great potential in achieving a high energy density since they can optimize the energy density by exploiting both the high permittivity of ceramic fillers and the high breakdown strength of the polymer matrix. In this paper, BaTiO3 nanofibers (NFs) with different aspect ratio were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method and the permittivity and energy storage of the P(VDF-HFP) nanocomposites were investigated. It is found that as the BaTiO3 NF aspect ratio and volume fraction increased the permittivity and maximum electric displacement of the nanocomposites increased, while the breakdown strength decreased. The nanocomposites with the highest aspect ratio BaTiO3 NFs exhibited the highest energy storage density at the same electric field. However, the nanocomposites with the lowest aspect ratio BaTiO3 NFs achieved the maximal energy storage density of 15.48 J/cm3 due to its higher breakdown strength. This contribution provides a potential route to prepare and tailor the properties of high energy density capacitor nanocomposites.

Abstract Ceramic/polymer nanocomposites have shown great potential in high energy storage density capacitors for pulsed power applications. However, due to the difference in surface energy between inorganic fillers and polymers, the discharge energy density and efficiency of nanocomposites are limited. In this article, the BaTiO3 (BT) nanowires (nws) modified with dopamine (Dopa) was introduced into aromatic polythiourea (ArPTU) polymer matrix as composite for high performance dielectrics. This is a new path about the introduction of a high dielectric constant ceramic into high dipole moment linear polymers (HDMLP), which produces the polymer composite with high energy storage density and high discharge efficiency. The composite ArPTU/BT nws shows an energy density of 7.5 Jžcm-3 and high efficiency more than 90 % is obtained under an electric field of 250 MVžm-1. It also has been found that the modification of BT nws with the dopamine reduces the dielectric loss of composite effectively due to the good synergistic effective between ArPTU and BT nws, and high stability of composite for energy storage is also achieved. This work provides an effective solution for achieving high energy storage density and high discharge efficiency in polymer dielectrics for practical capacitor applications.

A low-cost and enhanced thermal properties composite material for sensible heat storage in solar thermal energy storage applications is introduced. The proposed material is produced primarily for small scale solar thermal applications. However, it can be utilized for large scale solar thermal plants. The material has the advantages of high thermal conductivity and large energy storage density. The introduced material is composed of a mixture of cement and cast-iron particles. To obtain an optimal mixture, different samples of the material are prepared with different ratios of the cement-iron weights. The thermal conductivity of the produced samples is measured by using the linear heat conduction method. The specific heat capacity of the produced mixtures is calculated by using the Rule of the mixture. The obtained results show that the introduced material has a significant enhancement in thermal conductivity. Where, thermal conductivity as high as ~6.0 W/m.K and energy storage density as high as ~788 Joule/cm3 are achieved. The estimated volume energy density is ~89% higher than that of water. The produced material has the advantage of high energy volume density, being unhazardous, chemically stable, eco-friendly, easy to fabricate, and integrate with solar thermal energy systems and is a low-cost material.

We reported a sandwich structured Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3/BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3/Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 (PZT/BZT/PZT) film fabricated by using the sol–gel method, which was dense and uniform with a unique perovskite structure. The PZT/BZT/PZT films displayed high dielectric constants up to 1722.45 at the frequency of 10 kHz. Additionally, the enhanced energy storage density of 39.27 J·cm−3 was achieved at room temperature and 2.00 MV/cm, which was higher than that of the individual BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3 film (21.28 J·cm−3). Furthermore, the energy storage density and efficiency of PZT/BZT/PZT film increased slightly with the increasing temperature from −140 °C to 200 °C. This work proves the feasibility and effectiveness of a sandwich structure in improving dielectric, leakage, and energy storage performances, providing a new paradigm for high-energy–density dielectrics applications.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been widely explored for energy storage. Nevertheless, achieving good energy density, satisfactory power density, and stable cycle life is still challenging. For this study, we fabricated a novel LIC with a NiO-rGO composite as a negative material and commercial activated carbon (AC) as a positive material for energy storage. The NiO-rGO//AC system utilizes NiO nanoparticles uniformly distributed in rGO to achieve a high specific capacity (with a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and a charge capacity of 945.8 mA h g−1) and uses AC to provide a large specific surface area and adjustable pore structure, thereby achieving excellent electrochemical performance. In detail, the NiO-rGO//AC system (with a mass ratio of 1:3) can achieve a high energy density (98.15 W h kg−1), a high power density (10.94 kW kg−1), and a long cycle life (with 72.1% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). This study outlines a new option for the manufacture of LIC devices that feature both high energy and high power densities.
