Bootstrap Circuitry Selection for Half-Bridge Configurations

The charge to replenish the bootstrap capacitor must come from some larger bypass capacitor, usually the VDD bypass capacitor. As a rule of thumb, this bypass capacitor should be sized to be at least 10 times larger than the bootstrap capacitor so that it is not completely drained during the charging time of the bootstrap capacitor.

Reverse Current Protection Using MOSFET and Comparator …

load supply bypass capacitors or batteries attempt to force current back into the power source when first connected. Reverse current can also occur when the load tries to force voltage back into the main supply bus, such as back-EMF from an inductive circuit or a failed battery charging circuit. 3 Comparator Based Reverse Current Protection

If you have a fully charged capacitor, one way to add more charge to the plates (making your capacitor more efficient) would be to add a small insulator between the plates of the capacitor. Since it is an insulator, the charges on the plates would polarize the molecules in the insulator but those charges would not be able to move freely.
