Abstract
Developing dielectric polymers with different stereoisomers may provide a novel strategy to improve electrostatic energy storage performance under harsh environments. However, there is still little research about the effect of polymer stereoisomerism on capacitive energy storage so far. Here, we report a new class of cycloaliphatic polynorbornene-imide (PNC) dielectric with two different spatial configurations and demonstrate that flexural configuration significantly improves the energy storage performance at room temperature and high temperature. ENDO-PNC with flexural configuration possesses slightly higher dielectric constant, comparably large bandgap and dramatically improved thermal properties with respect to EXO-PNC with near-planar configuration. Notedly, ENDO-PNC exhibits dramatically inhibited leakage current density and hopping distance, substantially improved activation energy, electrical resistivity and breakdown strength. Consequently, ENDO-PNC exhibits an ultrahigh discharged energy density (Ud) of 11.10 J/cm3, 9.11 J/cm3 and 6.77 J/cm3 at 25 °C, 150 °C and 200 °C respectively, as high as 1.4 times, 2.0 times and 2.8 times that of EXO-PNC. Moreover, ENDO-PNC delivers a maximum Ud of 6.0 J/cm3 and 3.3 J/cm3 above 90 % efficiency respectively at 150 °C and 200 °C, superior to neat polymers and highly competitive in reported polymer composites. The stereoisomerism effect on dielectric energy storage is further demonstrated in other dielectric polymers, revealing this strategy is universally applicable and particularly meaningful to design and exploit polymer dielectrics working under harsh environments.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
