Today, rechargeable batteries are mostly used for energy storage. An alternative to the electrochemical storage process in batteries are capacitors with a high energy density and a long carrier storage time. For the design and development of such capacitors the default dielectric AC characterisation method for capacitors is inadequate because the energy storage process operates under DC conditions. We present a measurement procedure which includes DC and AC characterisation using the example of composite capacitors consisting of barium titanate nanoparticles embedded in a matrix material. Furthermore we show the differences between the measurement methods and the problems of analysing such capacitors.
