Abstract
The rapid development of renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and pulsed equipment requires energy storage media to have a high energy storage density and efficiency in a wide temperature range. The state-of-the-art biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film is insufficient to meet the growing demand for energy storage devices due to its low energy storage density and working temperature, which make it a research hotspot for developing dielectric energy storage materials. In this manuscript, based on the epoxy materials that have been shown as a potential energy storage medium, we aim to reduce the influence of the benzene ring delocalization structure on the energy storage losses and enhance the efficiency by gradually replacing them with cyclohexane structures to adjust the segment unsaturation of epoxy materials. The results show that by partially reducing the unsaturation of the curing agent, the epoxy material achieves an excellent high-temperature energy storage density of 2.21 J/cm3 at 150 °C and 300 MV/m while maintaining an extremely high energy storage efficiency of 99.2%. Leakage current density and high-voltage dielectric spectroscopy tests confirm that a moderate reduction of the segment unsaturation of epoxy materials can greatly inhibit polarization loss at high temperatures, which may explain their high energy storage efficiency.
