Dipoles disordered by design to increase capacity of energy-storage devices

Nature, Published online: 29 January 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-00085-4Energy-storage devices called capacitors deliver power rapidly, but the amount of energy they can absorb is limited. Deliberately disordered electric dipoles in ‘antiferroelectric’ capacitor materials could solve this problem.
