Abstract
Polymer dielectrics with excellent high-temperature capacitive energy storage performance are in urgent demand for modern power electronic devices and high-voltage electrical systems. Nevertheless, the energy storage capability usually degrades dramatically at increased temperatures, owing to the exponentially increased conduction loss. Herein, a trace of commercially available aluminum nitride (AlN) nanoparticles is incorporated into the poly(ether imide) (PEI) matrix to inhibit the conduction loss. The nanostructured AlN component with a large specific surface area can provide abundant sites for the collision of carriers. More importantly, the generated new trap energy levels can immobilize the carriers, accordingly contributing to the reduction in leakage current. From this, the discharged energy density at 150 °C of PEI composites increases by 82.13% from 2.63 J/cm3 for pristine PEI to 4.79 J/cm3 for PEI composites. This work establishes a facile approach to enhancing the high-temperature capacitive performance of polymer dielectrics.
