Abstract:To address the issue of deteriorated energy storage performance in traditional polyetherimide (PEI) dielectrics under high-temperature conditions, this work prepared zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with highly uniform morphology via a mild precipitation method. Dielectric composites with varying filler contents were fabricated by incorporating ZIF-8 as a functional filler into the PEI matrix. Scanning electron microscope, impedance analyzer, high-temperature dielectric spectrometer, and ferroelectric analyzer were employed to investigate the microstructure, dielectric properties, and high-temperature energy storage performance of ZIF-8/PEI dielectric composites. The results indicate that when w(ZIF-8)=2%, the composite exhibits optimal energy storage performance. The maximum energy density at room temperature reaches 9.50 J/cm3, representing a 57% improvement over pristine PEI (6.05 J/cm3). Under harsh conditions of 150 ℃ and an energy efficiency exceeding 90%, the composite maintains an energy density of 3.44 J/cm3, significantly outperforming the 1.00 J/cm3 of pristine PEI and demonstrating excellent high-temperature energy storage stability. The enhanced performance of the composite stems from the wide bandgap of ZIF-8, which builds electron migration barrier that effectively suppresses leakage current and inhibits space charge accumulation.
