Received: 5 January 2012; in revised form: 27 March 2012 / Accepted: 29 March 2012 / Published: 13 April 2012 Abstract: Simple thin-film capacitor stacks were fabricated from sputter-deposited doped barium titanate dielectric films with sputtered Pt and/or Ni electrodes and characterized electrically. Here, we report small signal, low frequency capacitance and parallel resistance data measured as a function of applied DC bias, polarization versus applied electric field strength and DC load/unload experiments. These capacitors exhibited significant leakage (in the range 8–210 μA/cm2) and dielectric loss. Measured breakdown strength for the sputtered doped barium titanate films was in the range 200 kV/cm −2 MV/cm. For all devices tested, we observed clear evidence for dielectric saturation at applied electric field strengths above 100 kV/cm: saturated polarization was in the range 8–15 μC/cm2.

Prospects for the Development of High Energy Density Dielectric Capacitors
applied sciences Review Prospects for the Development of High Energy Density Dielectric Capacitors Andrew Burke Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, the design of high energy density dielectric capacitors for energy storage in vehicle, industrial, and electric utility applications have been considered in detail. The performance of these devices depends primarily on the dielectric constant and breakdown strength characteristics of the dielectric material used. A review of the literature on composite polymer materials to assess their present dielectric constants and the various approaches being pursued to increase energy density found that there are many papers in which materials having dielectric constants of 20–50 were reported, but only a few showing materials with very high dielectric constants of 500 and greater. The very high dielectric constants were usually achieved with nanoscale metallic or carbon particles embedded in a host polymer and the maximum dielectric constant occurred near the percolation threshold particle loading. In this study, an analytical method to calculate the dielectric constant of composite dielectric polymers with various types of nanoparticles embedded is presented. The method was applied using an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the characteristics of spiral wound battery cells using various composite polymers with embedded particles. The calculated energy densities were strong functions of the size of the particles and thickness of the dielectric layer in the cell. For a 1000 V cell, an energy density of 100–200 Wh/kg was calculated for 3–5 nm particles and µ 3–5 thick dielectric layers.

MASTER's THESIS Automotive Hybrid Technology
2008:217 CIV MASTER'S THESIS Automotive Hybrid Technology Status, Function and Development Tools Gustaf Lagunoff Luleå University of Technology MSc Programmes in Engineering Mechanical Engineering Department of Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering Division of Machine Elements 2008:217 CIV - ISSN: 1402-1617 - ISRN: LTU-EX--08/217--SE Abstract A diminishing oil reserve and increased environmental concern puts new demands on our vehicles. This thesis aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a conventional vehicle and explain the technology behind. Alternative energy sources are introduced and together with the knowledge learnt, their potentials are discussed. Unfortunately, none of them can be found to fulfil all future demands. Instead, hybrid vehicles are identified as a solution with high potential. Hybrid vehicles are consequently defined and the additional components are explained. The multiple energy sources of a hybrid vehicle bring increased drivetrain flexibility but also increased control complexity. With the goal to enhance the fuel economy and reduce emissions, optimum operating conditions are discussed for each drivetrain component and concrete control targets are extracted. Due to the complexity, computer modelling and simulation are expected to be an essential tool when it comes to hybrid vehicle development and optimization. As a result, cost efficient component models are suggested and finally a number of control optimization procedures are compared. The result of this thesis is a summary of relevant knowledge needed to reduce the development effort of hybrid vehicles. The key aspect is to understand the synergy effect of a hybrid drive train which enables the designer to approach the full potential of each component.

Proposal to Build Supercapacitors Using Solid Dielectrics
Proposal to Build Supercapacitors Using Solid Dielectrics Frank Barnes (University of Colorado) — Boulder, Colorado, USA — [email protected] Animesh Banerjee (Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, INDIA) Introduction With the ever increasing need for portability in electronic devices and the need for renewable energy storage, means of storing electrical energy is valuable. Batteries are generally used for such purposes, but for applications requiring high power for automobile start-ups, industrial applications, telecommunications, renewable energy storage and consumer electronics, supercapacitors would provide several advantages over the conventional Li-ion batteries and other electrochemical double layer ultracapacitors already commercialized [1,2]. They would also be suitable for power back-up functions in a wide range of consumer products, for solar panels and motor starts. Having supercapacitors which can pack up to 100 times the energy of conventional capacitors and deliver ten times the power of ordinary batteries would change the power equations for these and similar applications. Some of the advantages of employing supercapacitors would be: • They can be designed for the whole life of a consumer product (10 – 12 years) • Designing for life provides design engineers with the extra flexibility to locate the supercapacitors anywhere within the product. • They would be light weight, solid and rugged—apart from having higher energy density compared to the electrochemical double layer ultracapacitors which are being used widely. • In automobiles, they are the correct choices for electrical system stabilization, regenerative braking, power assist, starter generator, start/stop automatism and several other features. • In industries, they are required for peak power supply/ storage for robots and machines, crane recuperation, fork lifts, UPS & power quality, induction power transmission and space and medical equipment.

UBecause the charge is stored physically, with no chemical or phase changes taking place, the process is highly reversible and the discharge-charge rycle can be repeated over and over again, virtually without limit. Electrochemical capacitors (ECs), variously referred to by manufacturers in promotional literature as "supercapacitors" or "ultracapacitors," store electrical charge in an electric double layer at the interface between a high-surface-area carbon electrode and a liquid electrolyte.l,2 Consequently, they are also quite properly referred to as electric double layer capacitors.

Cover frt.qxp:CVR FEATURE TEMP 8/5/08 15:06 Page 14 electrodes and some electrolyte, making it something of a hybrid between a capacitor and a battery. The most popular is the double layer capacitor, which stores the energy in the double layer formed near the carbon electrode surface. The amount of energy a conventional capacitor can hold is measured in microfarads – even nano or picofarads. In contrast, supercapacitors typically store farads, thousands of times more. Large commercial ones can store as much as 5000F. The energy density of today’s supercapacitors ranges from around 1 to 10Wh/kg, much higher than a standard capacitor but still only about a tenth of an NiMH battery. But as we shall see, this could change radically. One of the main benefits of supercapacitors is that they can be charged extremely quickly, in about 10s. This means large devices can be used for regenerative braking on vehicles. Hundreds of supercapacitors can be connected in series to provide the energy storage needed. Several transportation systems worldwide are now using them in such a way, for example in Shanghai and Mannheim. Charging ahead Will supercapacitors nvented more than 250 years ago – in 1745 to be Another of the supercapacitor’s advantages over Iexact – the humble capacitor has been a batteries is that it can be recharged and discharged enable an energy mainstay of electrical and electronic effectively an unlimited number of times.
