High entropy modulated quantum paraelectric perovskite for capacitive energy storage

Electrostatic capacitors are critical components in the power system of electric vehicles (EVs). The current commercially available solutions are largely based on ferroelectric oxides of which the permittivity decrease with increasing electric field. Here, we propose a high entropy modulation design in a quantum paraelectric-ferroelectric/antiferroelectric matrix, which enables a stable and field-independent energy charge/discharge response across a wide voltage range. By effectively synergizing the high efficiency (η) of quantum paraelectrics and the high polarization of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric matrix with the entropy regulator, a high recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 13.3 J cm−3 with an η of…
