High Temperature, High Energy Density and High Efficiency Capacitors for Aerospace Exploration

The project will develop high performance film capacitor with high temperature capability and high energy storage efficiency at high electric filed. In this study, the proposed nanocomposite films have never been attempted to improve their energy storage performance before. If the proposed method is successful, it can be one method to pilot plant scale of advanced nanocomposite films for high temperature, high voltage and high power capacitor with high energy storage efficiency. Powdermet will seek to optimize the approach and fabrication process based on the current results to reach higher energy density pulse-power capacitor at high temperature for future commercial capacitor application.
