Do dielectric electrostatic capacitors have a high energy storage density?

Dielectric electrostatic capacitors have emerged as ultrafast charge–discharge sources that have ultrahigh power densities relative to their electrochemical counterparts 1. However, electrostatic capacitors lag behind in energy storage density (ESD) compared with electrochemical models 1, 20.

Are electrostatic microcapacitors the future of electrochemical energy storage?

Moreover, state-of-the-art miniaturized electrochemical energy storage systems—microsupercapacitors and microbatteries—currently face safety, packaging, materials and microfabrication challenges preventing on-chip technological readiness2,3,6, leaving an opportunity for electrostatic microcapacitors.

Can electrostatic capacitors amplify energy storage per unit planar area?

However, electrostatic capacitors lag behind in energy storage density (ESD) compared with electrochemical models 1, 20. To close this gap, dielectrics could amplify their energy storage per unit planar area if packed into scaled three-dimensional (3D) structures 2, 5.

Does -E BD limit energy storage in dielectric capacitors?

This approach can overcome the conventional κ -E BD trend which limits energy storage in dielectric capacitors (Supplementary Text), ultimately leading to the largest volumetric ESD value reported for a BEOL-compatible dielectric (Supplementary Table 1).

Are energy storage devices unipolar?

Furthermore, because energy storage devices are unipolar devices, for practical application, we must consider the non-switching I–V transients, as there will be no voltage of the opposite polarity to switch any ferroelectric polarization that may be present.
