Abstract
Electrostatic energy storage capacitors are essential passive components for power electronics and prioritize dielectric ceramics over polymer counterparts due to their potential to operate more reliably at > 100 ˚C. Most work has focused on non‐linear dielectrics compositions in which polarization (P)/electric displacement (D) and maximum field (E<jats:sub>max</jats:sub>) are optimized to give values of energy density, 6≤U≤21 J cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>. In each case however, either saturation (dP/dE = 0, AFE) or “partial” saturation (dP/dE → 0, RFE) of P limits the value of U which can be achieved before breakdown. It is proposed that U can be further improved with respect to relaxors (RFEs) and anti‐ferroelectrics (AFEs) by designing high permittivity quasi‐linear dielectric (QLD) behaviour in which dP/dE remains constant up to ultrahigh E<jats:sub>max</jats:sub>. QLD multilayer capacitor prototypes with dielectric layers composed of 0.88NaNb<jats:sub>0.9</jats:sub>Ta<jats:sub>0.1</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>‐0.10SrTiO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>‐0.02La(Mg<jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub>Ti<jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub>)O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> deliver room temperature U ≈ 43.5 J cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>, supporting an extremely‐large E<jats:sub>max</jats:sub> ≈ 280 MV m<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>, both of which exceed current state‐of‐art by a factor of two for devices based on powder, tape‐cast technology. Importantly QLD capacitors exhibit scant variation in U (≈15 J cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>) up to > 200 ˚C and robust resistance to cyclic degradation, offering a promising new approach for the development of sustainable technology.
