Superior energy storage capacity of polymer-based bilayer composites by introducing 2D ferroelectric micro-sheets by Zhenhao Fan, Jian Dai, Yuyan Huang, Hang Xie, Yitao Jiao, Wenfeng Yue, Fu Huang, Yuqun Deng, Dawei Wang, Qingfeng Zhang, Yunfei Chang

“…Finite element simulations along with experimental test results demonstrate that greatly improved breakdown strength is ascribed to uniform and horizontal alignments of Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15 sheets (~1–2 μm) in the matrix and interface effect of adjacent layers with large dielectric differences, which effectively inhibit electrical tree evolution and conduction loss. This work provides a strong foundation for developing high-performance polymer-based energy storage devices.…”
