New Class of Materials for High Energy Storage Applications from Crystallization of Inorganic Dielectric Glasses under Pressure

摘要

The objective was to develop an alternative type of capacitor material by using a hydrostatic pressure technique to improve the dielectric properties of an inorganic niobate glass/ceramic. As a result of the basic research that was conducted with this technique, the dielectric properties were improved to such an extent that the resultant energy storage surpassed that of state-of-the-art organic capacitors and satisfied current military requirements for high energy storage for laser applications.
