However, most traditional high temperature resistant polymers exhibit the low bandgap and high conductive loss because of the presence of conjugated aromatic structures, resulting in a significant decrease in the energy storage performance at high temperatures and high fields. In this paper, a series of alicyclic polyimide dielectric films containing hard segment of phenyl imide and soft segment of cyclohexyl imide are designed and prepared. On the one hand, the introduction of non-coplanar alicyclic ring into main-chain of polyimide can break long distance conjugation effect, weaken the intermolecular and intramolecular charge transfer interaction and improve the bandgap. On the other hand, the physical crossing point formed by the soft segments can sharply increase Young's modulus of the polyimide films. As a result, the terpolymer polyimide film (CPI90) with copolymerization ratio of phenyl/cyclohexyl dianhydride of 9:1 achieves a highest discharge energy density (<em>U</em><sub>d</sub>) of 5.59 J cm<sup>−3</sup> at 150 °C. Importantly, the CPI90 film can obtain the <em>U</em><sub>d</sub> of 2.74 J cm<sup>−3</sup> at 200 °C. In addition, the CPI90 film possesses a good self-healing ability attributing to a small ratio for the carbon to hydrogen and oxygen.

This leads to the problem of data imbalance in SOH estimation tasks, which affects the accuracy of SOH estimation. This article explores the long-tailed distribution phenomenon in the field of batteries and the corresponding imbalanced regression problem it brings to the estimation of battery SOH. In addition, a method for improving model performance is proposed.

By discretized analysis of continuous problems, the label distribution smoothing (LDS) method is applied to deep neural networks to analyze and solve this imbalanced regression problem. By convolution processing with the kernel function and label distribution, the weights corresponding to different labels are calculated, which improves the estimation accuracy.
