Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Polymer blends are regarded as a straightforward and effective method to enhance the energy storage performance of dielectric film capacitors. However, how the components and structures within the blend systems affect the energy density and efficiency remains insufficiently explored in-depth. In this discourse, employing a polymer blend of ferroelectric and linear dielectric phases as a paradigm, we perform phase-field simulations to elucidate the effects of ferroelectric phase volume fractions, geometrical dimensions, and the dielectric constant of the linear phase on the energy storage capabilities. Concurrently, we have devised six divergent blending microstructures to probe the ramifications of structural variances on the overarching performance metrics. We also analyze the domain configurations and switching dynamics under varying electric fields to understand the performance variations and delineate the determinants conducive to superior energy density and efficiency. This paper theoretically establishes the component-content-structure-performance relationships of different polymer blend systems, which is expected to better guide the innovative design of new polymer blend dielectrics.
