Reversible charge storage with polymers is achieved by redox “bistability” and exchange reactions. Redox bistability is a feature of electrochemical reversibility, which refers to the properties of redox pairs in which both the reduced and oxidized states are chemically robust and do not fade during substantial storage periods.
The strategies for enhancing the room-temperature energy storage performance of polymer films can be roughly divided into three categories: tailoring molecular chain structure, doping functional fillers, and constructing multilayer structure.
Polymer capacitors are more attractive for energy storage applications because they are inexpensive and possess a high dielectric strength, high temperature stability, and easy processing. As discussed in the introduction, a high dielectric strength plays a critical role in achieving high energy density.
In summary, the achievement of high energy storage applications requires careful attention to design concerns since it involves finding a delicate balance between permittivity, dielectric loss, and breakdown strength. Solving the above challenges is essential for both fundamental science and practical applications.
In addition, Shen et al. fabricated a polymer nanocomposite, P (VDF-HFP)/Ca 2 Nb 3 O 10, with a storage energy of 35.9 J/cm 3, which mainly benefitted from an improved breakdown strength of 853 MV/m . Meanwhile, to assess the energy storage capacity, a machine learning technique was planned in this work (Figure 12 d).
