Ceramic-based dielectric materials are crucial for energy storage capacitors due to their high power density, fast charge-discharge capabilities, and excellent temperature stability. This review discusses the fundamental concepts, key parameters, and recent progress in ceramic-based dielectric materials for energy storage applications. It covers bulk ceramics (linear dielectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxor ferroelectrics, and anti-ferroelectrics), ceramic films, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). The review highlights strategies such as chemical modification, grain refinement, defect engineering, and domain evolution to enhance energy storage performance. It also addresses challenges and opportunities for future dielectric materials in energy storage applications. Key parameters include energy storage density, polarization difference, dielectric breakdown strength, discharge time, and reliability. The review emphasizes the importance of high energy storage density, high energy efficiency, and fast charge-discharge capabilities for practical applications. It discusses various ceramic materials, including lead-based and lead-free ceramics, and their energy storage properties. The review concludes that ceramic-based dielectric materials offer promising solutions for energy storage applications, but further research is needed to overcome challenges such as energy loss, thermal stability, and scalability.Ceramic-based dielectric materials are crucial for energy storage capacitors due to their high power density, fast charge-discharge capabilities, and excellent temperature stability.
