The applications of CDs, which are generally smaller than 10 nm, in myriad fields are ascribed to their intrinsic merits of good biocompatibility, little cytotoxicity, good stability, and large specific surface area. The development of CDs along with their accurate characterization, and their successful implementation into faster, less expensive, and more reliable systems in a variety of scientific fields are testimony to how science has advanced and merged to create interdisciplinary fields.

A volume fraction of 0.69 BiFeO<sub>3</sub> yields the highest discharge energy storage density (58.01 J/cm<sup>3</sup>) and near-perfect charge-discharge efficiency (99.8%) at 4 MV/cm. The multilayers exhibit varying hysteresis behaviors, from ferroelectric to relaxor to paraelectric-like characteristics, depending on the BiFeO<sub>3</sub> ratio.
