olymeric dielectric materials enable film capacitor technology that is critical
in high-power energy storage and pulsed power systems, hybrid electric
vehicles, aerospace power conditioning and advanced electromagnetic weapons.
Conventional high-temperature polymeric dielectric materials dissipate a
large amount of heat as they are involved in continuous operations under high
temperature and strong electric field conditions, which, unfortunately, leads to
thermal runaway and failure of filmcapacitors. We propose to tackle the key issues
associated with thermal runaway in plastic film capacitors by focusing on the
suppression of charge injection fromelectrodes and thermally activatedmigration
of charge carriers, rather than following the traditional design of high-temperature
polymer dielectrics that only concerns the thermal stability of materials. Advanced
composite approaches, thin-film deposition technologies, comprehensive
characterizations of dielectric and capacitive energy storage properties as well as
computational simulations are utilized to cover from structure control to material
preparation, to performance assessment and to device modelling. The ultimate
goal of this study is to develop novel high-temperature polymer dielectrics that can
maintain dielectric stability and energy storage properties under high electric field
and high temperature, and effectively suppress the thermal runaway of plastic film
capacitors.
