This review summarizes the progress of these different classes of ceramic dielectrics for energy storage applications, including their mechanisms and strategies for enhancing the energy storage performance, as well as an outlook on future trends and prospects of lead-free ceramics for advanced pulsed power systems applications.
However, the thickness and average grain size of most reported lead-free ceramic dielectrics for energy storage are in the range of 30–200 μm and 1–10 μm, respectively. This may impede the development of electronic devices towards miniaturization with outstanding performance.
In this review, we present a summary of the current status and development of ceramic-based dielectric capacitors for energy storage applications, including solid solution ceramics, glass-ceramics, ceramic films, and ceramic multilayers.
The challenges and opportunities of energy storage dielectrics are also provided. Dielectric capacitors for electrostatic energy storage are fundamental to advanced electronics and high-power electrical systems due to remarkable characteristics of ultrafast charging-discharging rates and ultrahigh power densities.
This paper summarizes the fundamentals of dielectric ceramics, including ultimate principles, primary parameters, key influence factors, typical ferroic material systems, and referrible structure, where the strategic emphases are focused on the structure–property relation on the multiscale.
As a result, the ceramics exhibited superior energy storage properties with Wrec of 3.41 J cm −3 and η of 85.1%, along with outstanding thermal stability.
