Crosslinking is an effective method to improve the thermal properties of polymer dielectrics [[18], [19], [20]].On the one hand, it limits the movement and relaxation of polymer segments and suppresses the dielectric loss; on the other hand, it improves the modulus and dielectric breakdown strength, thereby realizing energy storage performance improvements.
Relying on redox reactions, most batteries are limited in their ability to operate at very low or very high temperatures. While performance of electrochemical capacitors is less dependent on the temperature, present-day devices still cannot cover the entire range needed for automotive and electronics applications under a variety of environmental conditions.

The Review discusses the state-of-the-art polymer nanocomposites from three key aspects: dipole activity, breakdown resistance and heat tolerance for capacitive energy storage applications.
Capacitors used for energy storage. Capacitors are devices which store electrical energy in the form of electrical charge accumulated on their plates. When a capacitor is connected to a power source, it accumulates energy which can be released when the capacitor is disconnected from the charging source, and in this respect they are similar to batteries.
One of the key parameters for energy storage in capacitors is the discharged-energy density U d, defined as ∫ P rem P max E d P, where E is the electric field, P max is the maximum polarization, and P rem is the remanent polarization ().The other key parameter is the efficiency η = [U d /(U d + U loss)] × 100(%), where U loss is the energy dissipated as a result

The energy-storage performance of a capacitor is determined by its polarization–electric field (P-E) loop; the recoverable energy density U e and efficiency η can be calculated as follows: U e = ∫ P r P m E d P, η = U e / U e + U loss, where P m, P r, and U loss are maximum polarization, remnant polarization, and energy loss, respectively

In Zimbabwe, the power crisis and increasing integration of renewable energy sources like solar PV and the largely accepted bioenergy would lead to the need for energy storage. Abandoned mines and transboundary aquifers in the country can be refurbished to operate as pump energy storage plants.
By harnessing Zimbabwe's abundant renewable resources, such as hydroelectric, solar, and wind power, an opportunity exists to enhance energy security, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and promote sustainable industrial growth. This paper delves into the potential of RES integration in the Zimbabwean industry.
Zimbabwe has the potential to maximise its renewable energy resources and achieve a more environmentally sustainable future through the implementation of favourable legislation, substantial infrastructure investments, and active promotion of public engagement in sustainable energy development.
Zimbabwe could attain energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic diversification through the adoption of renewable energy technology.
Zimbabwe's coal supply significantly contributes to its energy provision, accounting for 12.9% of the total energy supply in 2021. Coal is a widely exchanged fossil fuel, and its burning is accountable for many global CO 2 emissions. Figure 2 shows Zimbabwe's position in both African and global ranking across different indicators.
There are about four coal-powered thermal stations in the country, namely Munyati Power Station, Harare Power Station, Bulawayo Power Station, and Hwange Power Station, which have operated since the country gained independence approximately 50 years ago (Government of Zimbabwe, 2019).
