中国科学院金属研究所沈阳材料科学国家研究中心的研究人员 recently unveiled a revolutionary "闪速退火" (flash quenching) technique that allows for the rapid production of high-performance energy storage thin films on silicon wafers. This breakthrough has significant implications for the development of next-generation high-performance energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors.
The traditional method of producing these energy storage devices is extremely challenging due to its sensitivity to extreme temperatures. The researchers faced a daunting task: how to maintain the device's strong storage capabilities while withstanding temperatures ranging from -196°C to 400°C (-320°F to 752°F)?
To address this issue, the research team developed a novel "闪速退火" technique that enables rapid thermal cycling at rates of up to 1000°C per second. Using this innovative method, they successfully created high-performance energy storage thin films in just one second.
The key to this breakthrough lies in the use of advanced materials and structures. By employing "闪速退火," researchers were able to "freeze" the material's crystal structure at room temperature, creating tiny nanoscale features with dimensions smaller than 3 nanometers. These intricate structures act as a maze-like pathway for inducing ferroelectric behavior, which is crucial for high-efficiency energy storage.
Furthermore, the "闪速退火" technique helps to lock in the thin film's microstructure, making it denser and more uniform. This results in reduced material defects and a significant decrease in leakage current, ultimately leading to improved performance.
The research team demonstrated that the new thin film-based supercapacitor exhibits exceptional environmental adaptability. Under extreme conditions of -196°C (liquid nitrogen) and 400°C (hot oil), its storage density and efficiency decreased by only 3%. This means it can reliably operate in both freezing temperatures and scorching heat.
Currently, researchers have successfully produced uniformly high-performance thin films on 2-inch silicon wafers, paving the way for industrial-scale integration of energy storage technology.

，在极端温度下存储能量是那么困难。他们真的是从零开始呢？
用闪速退火这种技术直接将材料 "冻" 在室温，这太牛了了！但说到 Industrial scale 的生产，还是要看看成本和效率的变化 
。
。但是，还是有一些争议的。因为这些新材料和结构的研发过程中，会有很多高温的实验，这对研究人员来说可能有点危险啊。所以，不论这种技术是如何厉害，也要注意安全起见。
研究人员在做出了一个非常重要的突破，能让我们快速生产高性能存储薄膜，应用于下个代代的能源储存设备。 
这样的研究需要很大的能力和智慧，也需要很多的努力。 
这次突破的关键在于使用了高级材料和结构，能够使得“闪速退火”技术能够快速地制备出这些薄膜。 
这些极细的纳米结构就像一个迷宫一样，可以诱导铁电行为，这是能源储存高效性的关键。
