This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/719,072, filed May 21, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
A capacitor is a passive electronic component that is used to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field, and comprises a pair of electrodes separated by a dielectric layer. When a potential difference exists between two electrodes, an electric field is present in the dielectric layer. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value of capacitance. This is a ratio of the electric charge on each electrode to the potential difference between them. In practice, the dielectric layer between electrodes passes a small amount of leakage current. Electrodes and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance, and dielectric layer has limitation to an electric field strength which results in a breakdown voltage. The simplest energy storage device consists of two parallel electrodes separated by a dielectric layer of permittivity ε, each of the electrodes has an area S and is placed on a distance d from each other. Electrodes are considered to extend uniformly over an area S, and a surface charge density can be expressed by the equation: ±ρ=±Q/S. As the width of the electrodes is much greater than the separation (distance) d, an electrical field near the centre of the capacitor will be uniform with the magnitude E=ρ/ε. Voltage is defined as a line integral of the electric field between electrodes. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined by the formula (1)
C=Q/V, (1)
A characteristic electric field known as the breakdown strength Ebd, is an electric field in which the dielectric layer in a capacitor becomes conductive. The voltage at which this occurs is called the breakdown voltage of the device, and is given by the product of dielectric strength and separation between the electrodes,
Vbd=Ebdd (2)
The maximal volumetric energy density stored in the capacitor is limited by the value proportional to ˜ε·E2bd, where ε is dielectric permittivity and Ebd is breakdown strength. Thus, in order to increase the stored energy of the capacitor it is necessary to increase dielectric permeability ε and breakdown strength Ebd of the dielectric.
Breakdown of the dielectric layer usually occurs when the intensity of the electric field becomes high enough to “pull” electrons from atoms of the energy storage molecular material and make them conduct an electric current from one electrode to another. Presence of impurities in the energy storage molecular material or imperfections of the crystal dielectric layer can result in an avalanche breakdown as observed in capacitor.
Other important characteristic of an energy storage molecular material is its dielectric permittivity. Different types of energy storage molecular materials are used for capacitors and include ceramics, polymer film, paper, and electrolytic capacitors of different kinds. The most widely used film materials are polypropylene and polyester. Increase of dielectric permittivity allows increasing of volumetric energy density which makes it an important technical task.
An ultra-high dielectric constant composite of polyaniline, PANI-DBSA/PAA, was synthesized using in situ polymerization of aniline in an aqueous dispersion of poly-acrylic acid (PAA) in the presence of dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBSA) (see, Chao-Hsien Hoa et al., “High dielectric constant polyaniline/poly(acrylic acid) composites prepared by in situ polymerization”, Synthetic Metals 158 (2008), pp. 630-637). The water-soluble PAA served as a polymeric stabilizer, protecting the PANI particles from macroscopic aggregation. A very high dielectric constant of ca. 2.0*105 (at 1 kHz) was obtained for the composite containing 30% PANI by weight. Influence of the PANI content on the morphological, dielectric and electrical properties of the composites was investigated. Frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss, loss tangent and electric modulus were analyzed in the frequency range from 0.5 kHz to 10 MHz. SEM micrograph revealed that composites with high PANI content (i.e., 20 wt %) consisted of numerous nano-scale PANI particles that were evenly distributed within the PAA matrix. High dielectric constants were attributed to the sum of the small capacitors of the PANI particles. The drawback of this material is a possible occurrence of percolation and formation of at least one continuous conductive path under electric field with probability of such an event increasing with an increase of the electric field. When at least one continuous path (track) through the neighboring conducting PANI particles is formed between electrodes of the capacitor, it makes a breakdown voltage of such a capacitor being relatively low.
Single crystals of doped aniline oligomers are produced via a simple solution-based self-assembly method (see, Yue Wang, et. al., “Morphological and Dimensional Control via Hierarchical Assembly of Doped Oligoaniline Single Crystals”, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, pp. 9251-9262). Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that crystals of different morphologies and dimensions can be produced by a “bottom-up” hierarchical assembly where structures such as one-dimensional (1-D) nanofibers can be aggregated into higher order architectures. A large variety of crystalline nanostructures, including 1-D nanofibers and nanowires, 2-D nanoribbons and nanosheets, 3-D nanoplates, stacked sheets, nanoflowers, porous networks, hollow spheres, and twisted coils, can be obtained by controlling the nucleation of the crystals and the non-covalent interactions between the doped oligomers. These nanoscale crystals exhibit enhanced conductivity compared to their bulk counterparts as well as interesting structure—property relationships such as shape-dependent crystallinity. Furthermore, the morphology and dimension of these structures can be largely rationalized and predicted by monitoring molecule—solvent interactions via absorption studies. Using doped tetra-aniline as a model system, the results and strategies presented in this article provide insight into the general scheme of shape and size control for organic materials.
Capacitors as energy storage device have well-known advantages versus electrochemical energy storage, e.g. a battery. Compared to batteries, capacitors are able to store energy with very high power density, i.e. charge/recharge rates, have long shelf life with little degradation, and can be charged and discharged (cycled) hundreds of thousands or millions of times.
However, capacitors often do not store energy in such little volume or weight as in a battery, or at low cost per energy stored, making capacitors impractical for applications such as in electric vehicles. Accordingly, it would be an advance in energy storage technology to provide storing energy more densely per volume and/or mass.
Aspects of the present disclosure provide solutions to the problem of the further increase of volumetric and mass density of reserved energy of the energy storage device, and at the same time reduces cost of materials and manufacturing process.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a crystal dielectric layer comprising the disclosed energy storage molecular material. When dissolved in an appropriate solvent, such energy storage molecular material forms a colloidal system (lyotropic liquid crystal) in which molecules are aggregated into supramolecular complexes constituting kinetic units of the system. This lyotropic liquid crystal phase is essentially a precursor of the ordered state of the system, from which the crystal dielectric layer is formed during the subsequent alignment of the supramolecular complexes and removal of the solvent.
By way of example, and not by way of limitation, a method for making the crystal dielectric layers from a colloidal system with supramolecular complexes may include the following steps:
application of the colloidal system onto a substrate. The colloidal system typically possesses thixotropic properties, which are provided by maintaining a preset temperature and a certain concentration of the dispersed phase;
external alignment upon the system, which can be produced using mechanical factors or by any other means, for example by applying an external electric field at normal or elevated temperature, with or without additional illumination, magnetic field, or optical field (e.g., coherent photovoltaic effect); the degree of the external alignment should be sufficient to impart necessary orientation to the kinetic units of the colloidal system and form a structure, which serves as a base of the crystal lattice of the crystal dielectric layer; and
drying to remove solvents to form the final crystal dielectric layer structure.
In the resulting crystal dielectric layer, the molecular planes of the predominantly planar polycyclic molecular system are parallel to each other and the energy storage molecular material forms a three-dimensional crystal structure, at least in part of the crystal. Optimization of the production technology may allow the formation of the single crystal dielectric layer.
As seen in FIG. 1, aspects of the present disclosure include a capacitor 100 comprising a first electrode 102, a second electrode 104, and a crystal dielectric layer 106 disposed between said first and second electrodes. The crystal dielectric layer 106 comprises the disclosed energy storage molecular material having a general molecular structural formula:
or any of the disclosed variations thereon as discussed herein or a general molecular structural formula:
or any of the disclosed variations thereon as discussed herein.
Such materials may be characterized by a dielectric constant κ between about 100 and about 1,000,000 and a breakdown field Ebd between about 0.01 V/m and about 2.0 V/nm.
The electrodes may be made of any suitable conductive material, e.g., metals, such as Aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu). In some implementations, one or both electrodes may be made of a foamed metal, such as foamed Aluminum. The electrodes 102, 104 may be flat and planar and positioned parallel to each other. Alternatively, the electrodes may be planar and parallel, but not necessarily flat, e.g., they may coiled, rolled, bent, folded, or otherwise shaped to reduce the overall form fact of the capacitor. It is also possible for the electrodes to be non-flat, non-planar, or non-parallel or some combination of two or more of these. By way of example and not by way of limitation, a spacing d between the electrodes 102, 104, which may correspond to the thickness of the crystal dielectric layer 106 may range from about 1 μm to about 10 000 μm. As noted in Equation (2) above, the maximum voltage Vbd between the electrodes 102, 103 is approximately the product of the breakdown field and the electrode spacing d. For example, if, Ebd=0.1 V/nm and the spacing d is 10,000 microns (100,000 nm), the maximum voltage Vbd would be 100,000 volts.
The electrodes may have the same shape as each other, the same dimensions, and the same area A. By way of example, and not by way of limitation, the area A of each electrode 102, 104 may range from about 0.01 m2 to about 1000 m2. By way of example, and not by way of limitation, for rolled capacitors, electrodes up to, e.g., 1000 m long and 1 m wide are manufacturable with roll-to-roll processes similar to those used to manufacture magnetic tape or photographic film.
These ranges are non-limiting. Other ranges of the electrode spacing d and area A are within the scope of the aspects of the present disclosure.
If the spacing d is small compared to the characteristic linear dimensions of electrodes (e.g., length and/or width), the capacitance C of the capacitor 100 may be approximated by the formula:
C=κεoA/d, (3)
where εo is the permittivity of free space (8.85×10−12 Coulombs2/(Newton·meter2)) and κ is the dielectric constant of the crystal dielectric layer 106. The energy storage capacity U of the capacitor 100 may be approximated as:
U=½CVbd2 (4)
which may be rewritten using equations (2) and (3) as:
U=½κεoAEbd2d (5)
The energy storage capacity U is determined by the dielectric constant κ, the area A, and the breakdown field Ebd. By appropriate engineering, a capacitor or capacitor bank may be designed to have any desired energy storage capacity U. By way of example, and not by way of limitation, given the above ranges for the dielectric constant κ, electrode area A, and breakdown field Ebd a capacitor in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure may have an energy storage capacity U ranging from about 500 Joules to about 2×1016 Joules.
For a dielectric constant κ ranging, e.g., from about 100 to about 1,000,000 and constant breakdown field Ebd between, e.g., about 0.1 and 0.5 V/nm, a capacitor of the type described herein may have a specific energy capacity per unit mass ranging from about 10 W·h/kg up to about 100,000 W·h/kg, though implementations are not so limited.
In order that aspects of the present disclosure may be more readily understood, reference is made to the following examples, which are intended to be illustrative of the invention, but are not intended to be limiting the scope.

Iodine (0.685 g, 2.70 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for additional 5 hours. at 55° C. Bromine (8.3 ml, 162 mmol) was added dropwise to the reaction flask over 1 hour and stirred for 24 hours at 85° C. The excess bromine was then displaced with the nitrogen gas N2. Water (66 ml) was added dropwise to the cooled mixture and the precipitate was filtered off. The crude product was washed with 220 ml 86% H2SO4 followed by water and this procedure was repeated two times to produce the crude product (32.32 g, 81%).

The product was purified on column chromatography on silica gel (eluent CHCl3-hexane 4:1) to produce an analytically pure monoanhydride (PIA) as red solid material (Yield: 0.24 g, 24%). M.S.: 911.50 (calcd. 911.48). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 9.70 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 9.68 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 8.64 (d, J=5.03 Hz, 1H), 8.62 (d, J=5.03 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (s, 1H), 8.33 (s, 1H), 7.38 (t, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (t, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.027 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 2H), 7.02 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 2H), 4.10 (m, 2H), 1.98 (m, 1H), 1.34 (m, 6H), 1.21 (s, 18H), 1.20 (s, 18H), 0.91 (m, 8H).

The reaction mixture was refluxed for another 2 days and then diluted with chloroform, washed one time with 2N hydrochloric acid, 2 times with water, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, and the solvent stripped on a rotary evaporator. The residue is column chromatographed on silica gel with chloroform to afford TPP-PDI4 (130 mg, 40%).
