Electrical energy storage systems (EESSs) with high energy density and power density are essential for the effective miniaturization of future electronic devices. Among different EESSs available in the market, dielectric capacitors relying on swift electronic and ionic polarization-based mechanisms to store and deliver energy already demonstrate high power densities. However, different intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to energy dissipations prevent ceramic-based dielectric capacitors from reaching high recoverable energy density levels. Interestingly, relaxor ferroelectric-based dielectric capacitors, because of their low remnant polarization, show relatively high energy density and thus display great potential for applications requiring high energy density properties. In this study, some of the main strategies to improve the energy density properties of perovskite lead-free relaxor systems are reviewed, including (i) chemical modification at different crystallographic sites, (ii) chemical additives that do not target lattice sites, and (iii) novel processing approaches dedicated to bulk ceramics, thick and thin films, respectively. Recent advancements are summarized concerning the search for relaxor materials with superior energy density properties and the appropriate choice of both composition and processing routes to match various applications’ needs. Finally, future trends in computationally-aided materials design are presented.

ABSTRACTPoly(chloro-p- Xylene) or Parylene –C thin films are particularly attractive for dielectric as well as biomedical applications. In the current work the dielectric properties of Parylene-C thin films are investigated to form laminar composites with oxide thin films for high energy density pulsed power capacitors. Parylene-C thin films were synthesized by pyrolytic vapor decomposition polymerization of dichloro-di(p-Xylene) monomer. Annealing of films at 225°C has shown to enhance crystallinity of film. Conduction in Parylene-C thin films appears to be bulk-controlled with the hopping charges contributing to leakage current. The barrier height of 0.89eV and hopping distance of 2 - 2.5nm are physically plausible and similar to previously reported values in polymer literature.

Alkaline zinc-based rechargeable batteries (AZRBs) are competitive candidates for future electrical energy storage because of their low-cost, eco-friendliness and high energy density. However, plagued by dendrites, the AZRBs suffer from drastic decay in electrochemical properties and safety. This review elucidates fundamentals of zinc dendritic formation and summarizes the strategies, including electrode design and modification, electrolyte optimization and separator improvement, for suppressing zinc dendritic growth.
