Researchers in China have developed a composite material that significantly enhances the energy density of capacitors, potentially overcoming limitations in current technology used in smartphones, displays, and electric vehicles. This breakthrough could lead to capacitors with greater storage capacity and faster energy delivery.
A new approach to materials engineering promises to overcome the limitation of capacitors commonly used in smartphones, displays and electric vehicles, according to a study published in Nature.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors — used for many electronic applications, such as smartphones, displays and electric vehicles — consist of vertical stacks of capacitors connected in parallel. The world's largest maker of MLCCs is Murata Manufacturing, based in Japan, which supplies Apple, HP, and Intel.
"Overall, capacitors made using this composite material had a greater charge–discharge efficiency and breakdown strength than did devices made using unengineered lead zirconate ," said Piush Behera and Suraj Cheema of MIT in an accompanying
