Multiscale understanding of dielectric capacitors Generally, dielectric capacitors are composed of dielectrics, conductive electrodes, and other encapsulation materials. As the key components, the dielectric materials play a critical role of determining the energy density U.
Various classes of dielectric materials have been developed for high-temperature capacitors, but each has its own limitations. Normally, ceramics can withstand high temperature and exhibit high ɛr, but low breakdown strength (E b) and large variation of dielectric properties versus temperature limit their applications.
In other words, the energy storage performance of dielectric capacitors could be affected by various factors in its full-life cycle, such as intrinsic material features, device structure and service environment, resulting in significant challenges in the design and optimization.
Therefore, the electrostatic/dielectric capacitors can realize a comparable energy density to electrochemical capacitors or even batteries, then the development and application prospects in the field of energy storage promise to be greatly extended. Fig. 1. Comparison and advantages of dielectric capacitors.
In physics, the term dielectric strength has the following meanings: for a pure electrically insulating material, the maximum electric field that the material can withstand under ideal conditions without undergoing electrical breakdown and becoming electrically conductive (i.e. without failure of its insulating properties).
An electric field is created between the plates of the capacitor as charge builds on each plate. Therefore, the net field created by the capacitor will be partially decreased, as will the potential difference across it, by the dielectric.
