Dialkyl carbonates enforce energy storage as new dielectric liquids

Higher hydrogen fractions in dielectric polymers boost self-healing in electrical capacitors

“…Note that the spontaneous insertions of voids are omnipresent in polymers, while their sizes depend on the rigidities of specific species. 17 To understand whether the voids matter upon the dielectric breakdown, the size of each void was selected to be five times larger than the simulation fraction of the polymeric film. It is believed that small fractions of atmospheric oxygen penetrate the capacitor during its production (wrapping under pressure).…”

“…The two electrodes called plates are separated by a dielectric layer in a capacitor. 17 The polymeric dielectric-based capacitors exhibit outstanding dielectric and mechanical properties. These devices are usually used for high-voltage applications.…”

Modification of insulating oils and oil-based titanium dioxide nanofluids for transformers: a review

“…However, the fundamental requirements for transformer-insulating fluids, namely, strong dielectric strength and good thermal conductivity, have never been altered. 60 The addition of NPs to base oils is intended to improve these expected properties. The following sections analyze the examinations of the factors that directly or indirectly impact these fundamental expectations.…”

Chemical similarity of dialkyl carbonates and carbon dioxide opens an avenue for novel greenhouse gas scavengers: cheap recycling and low volatility via experiments and simulations

“…The lower organic carbonates have been well-known for a long time and have found steady applications as solvents, reactants, electrolyte components for lithium batteries, and within the production of pharmaceuticals. [24][25][26][27][28][29] The shape of the carbonate head group favors the straightforward formation of cyclic geometries. Therefore, both the subclass of linear organic carbonates and the subclass of cyclic organic carbonates are widely spread.…”
