 Antiferoelectric materials are promising candidates for use as dielectric materials in solid state capacitors due to their unique properties such as low dielectric loss, low coercive field, low remnant polarization, high energy density, high material efficiency, and fast discharge rates. Despite the potential benefits of using antiferoelectric materials, there has been limited research done in this area. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current status of research in the field of antiferoelectric materials for electric energy storage applications. It begins with a discussion of the need for high energy density capacitors, the existing solutions, and the advantages of antiferoelectric materials. Subsequently, it describes the physical and chemical roots for enhancing the energy storage density of antiferoelectric materials. Finally, it concludes with a summary of the current status of research in the field and the challenges that remain.
