Bilayer Structure with Ultrahigh Energy/Power Density Using Hybrid Sol–Gel Dielectric and Charge‐Blocking Monolayer

Abstract

A hybrid sol–gel dielectric bilayer structure yields a maximum energy density of 40 J cm−3 with a high extraction efficiency. The silica sol–gel dielectric is coated by an alkylphosphonic acid monolayer, as a charge-blocking layer. The dense monolayer suppresses charge injection and electrical conduction, leading to high energy extraction efficiency, which exhibits nearly linear dielectric behavior suitable for high energy density applications.
