Abstract Dielectric polymers for electrostatic energy storage suffer from low density and poor efficiency at elevated temperatures, which constrains their use in the harsh-environment electronic devices, circuits, systems. Although incorporating insulating, inorganic nanostructures into dielectric promotes temperature capability, scalable fabrication of high-quality nanocomposite films remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report an all-organic composite comprising blended with...
Abstract Polymer dielectrics such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) have drawn tremendous attention in high energy density capacitors because of their dielectric constant and ease processing.
