Abstract

This paper presents a progress update with the development of nanostructured dielectric materials for various high energy, high power density electrical applications. It is demonstrated that novel electrical/dielectric properties can be achieved via the nanostructure and interface engineering. We present a high level summary of the progress achieved as well as challenges remaining in nanostructural engineering towards high energy density capacitor for energy storage and conversion, high voltage varistor for surge suppression and high proton conductivity membrane for fuel cell applications.
