Significantly Improved High-Temperature Energy Storage Performance of BOPP Films by Coating Nanoscale Inorganic Layer

<正>Biaxially oriented polypropylene（BOPP） is one of the most commonly used commercial capacitor films, but its upper operating temperature is below105 °C due to the sharply increased electrical conduction loss at high temperature. In this study, growing an inorganic nanoscale coating layer onto the BOPP film's surface is proposed to suppress electrical conduction loss at high temperature, as well as increase its upper operating temperature.Four kinds of inorganic coating layers that have different energy band structure and dielectric property are grown onto the both surface of BOPP films, respectively. The effect of inorganic coating layer on the hightemperature energy storage performance has been systematically investigated. The favorable coating layer materials and appropriate thickness enable the BOPP films to have a significant improvement in hightemperature energy storage performance. Specifically, when the aluminum nitride（Al N） acts as a coating layer, the Al N-BOPP-Al N sandwich-structured films possess a discharged energy density of 1.5 J cm-3 with an efficiency of90% at 125 °C, accompanying an outstandingly cyclic property. Both the discharged energy density and operation temperature are significantly enhanced, indicating that this efficient and facile method provides an important reference to improve the high-temperature energy storage performance of polymer-based dielectric films.
