Relationship between bond stiffness and electrical energy storage capacity in oxides: Density functional calculations forh-La2O

Abstract

We report finite electric field calculations for three representative oxide dielectrics: MgO, La 2 O 3 , and BeO. These materials have very different dielectric constants and bond stiffness. Good accord with experimental low field data is obtained. We discuss the results from the point of view of dielectric energy storage and suggest that the low dielectric constant, high bond stiffness material BeO is best from the viewpoint of energy density.

Effects of phase constitution and microstructure on energy storage properties of barium strontium titanate ceramics

“…In particular, while conventional batteries and solid oxide fuel cells offer higher energy density, capacitors possess higher power density and much faster charge and discharge rates [2]. This is essential for pulsed power applications and regenerative braking system [3,4]. In order to meet the increasing need for improving the mass-and volume-efficiency of energy storage components, the energy density of capacitors must be increased [5].…”

Chemical composition and temperature dependence of the energy storage properties of Ba1‐xSrxTiO3 ferroelectrics

“…In dielectric breakdown models, extrinsic factors, such as defects, surface structure, capacitor thickness, and impurities, play a significant role in defining the achievable E b , and thus, assessing the intrinsic dielectric strength is difficult. Many dielectric breakdown models have been presented to interpret the breakdown mechanism, such as finite element analysis, phase‐field method, nanoscale bond breaking model, and other empirical methods . For example, in previous research, we presented a dielectric breakdown model based on finite element analysis and phase‐field method and successfully applied it to dielectric composites and ferroelectric ceramics .…”

“…High energy storage density functional materials are used in compact devices like electrical vehicles, mobile electronics and different types of pulsed power technologies [1]. Recently, Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 (BNT)-based ferroelectric (FE) functional materials have drawn attention of research community for their promising use in energy storage applications.…”
