Abstract
The energy density of capacitors can be increased by using a material with differential negative capacitance (NC), which was recently observed in FE materials. Described is a more general pathway towards improved electrostatic energy storage densities by engineering the capacitance non-linearity of electrostatic devices. The disadvantages of regular polarizable materials are overcome by using the NC effect, which ideally has no hysteresis losses, leading to a theoretical efficiency of 100%. By storing the energy mostly in an amorphous DE layer, the break-down field strength is much higher compared to pure FE or AFE storage capacitors. In addition, leakage current losses can be reduced by improving the morphology of the insulating materials used.
