Abstract
An energy storage element and method of fabrication thereof are disclosed. An energy storage element includes a set of electrodes where one or more electrodes have extended conductive paths through nano-channel electric interconnections with ceramic particles in one or more dielectric layers. The electrode's electric field is extended into the dielectric material providing increased capacitance. The set of electrodes can include a pair of electrode layers respectively attached directly to opposing sides of one dielectric layer. The set of electrodes, which can also be referred to as multi-layer electrodes, can include a plurality of electrode layers interleaved between, and directly attached to, a plurality of stacked dielectric layers.

A Dielectric Energy Storage Element (DESE), comprising:
- a) one or more dielectric layers forming a dielectric stack, where one or more dielectric materials in the one or more dielectric layers are comprised of IBLC particles packed as an agglomerate of individual IBLC particles, and where each IBLC particle is an internal barrier layer capacitor (IBLC) with a resistive material outer shell;
- b) a set of electrode layers including a first set of electrode layers respectively disposed directly on a side surface of each dielectric layer and a second set of electrode layers respectively disposed directly on an opposing side surface of each dielectric layer;
