Film capacitor energy storage device

Recently, film capacitors have achieved excellent energy storage performance through a variety of methods and the preparation of multilayer films has become the main way to improve its energy storage performance.

Metallized film capacitors towards capacitive energy storage at elevated temperatures and electric field extremes call for high-temperature polymer dielectrics with high glass transition temperature (Tg), large bandgap (Eg), and concurrently excellent self-healing ability.

Currently, research on film capacitors primarily focuses on metalized organic polymer capacitors, which exhibit high charge-discharge rates, high flexibility, and excellent self-healing capabilities, promising good application prospects in areas such as microwave communications, hybrid electric vehicles, and renewable energy.

Capacitors exhibit exceptional power density, a vast operational temperature range, remarkable reliability, lightweight construction, and high efficiency, making them extensively utilized in the realm of energy storage. There exist two primary categories of energy storage capacitors: dielectric capacitors and supercapacitors.

Thin film capacitors have garnered extensive attention and research due to their robust breakdown strength, miniaturization, and substantial energy storage density. Ferroelectric oxide thin film capacitors are widely employed in commercial capacitors.

Dielectric capacitors, which have the characteristics of greater power density, have received extensive research attention due to their application prospects in pulsed power devices. Film capacitors are easier to integrate into circuits due to their smaller size and higher energy storage density compared to other dielectric capacitor devices.
