High energy density capacitors are a key technology for the development of advanced pulsed power electronic devices and electric power systems. On page 469 , H. A. Sodano and co‐workers demonstrate control of the orientation of the filler to improve the energy density of nanocomposite capacitors. Nanocomposites with aligned PZT nanowires are prepared by uniaxial strain assembly. It is shown that the nanocomposites with nanowires aligned in the axis of the electric field have higher energy density than samples with randomly dispersed nanowires.
