Development of low-cost, compact, reliable, high energy density ceramic nanocomposite capacitors

Monson, Todd M.; DiAntonio, Christopher D.; Winter, Michael R.; Huber, Dale L.; Roesler, Alexander R.; Chavez, Tom C.; Stevens, Tyler E.; Vreeland, Erika C.

The ceramic nanocomposite capacitor goals are: (1) more than double energy density of ceramic capacitors (cutting size and weight by more than half); (2) potential cost reductino (factor of >4) due to decreased sintering temperature (allowing the use of lower cost electrode materials such as 70/30 Ag/Pd); and (3) lower sintering temperature will allow co-firing with other electrical components.
