supercapacitors

New approach enables researchers to investigate the complex inter-connected behavior of supercapacitor electrodes

Researchers wanted to develop an energy storage system that could operate at very low temperatures without heating units

Pungent produce packs an electrical punch

A team of Penn State scientists used the cold sintering process to densify barium titanate ceramics at less than 572 degrees Fahrenheit

Using conductive nanodiamond as electrode material in a water-based cell significantly increases its energy storage capacity, scientists find

Many research efforts have been directed at evaluating the short-term performance of these materials

Research team has created flexible polymer carbon composite films as electrodes for supercapacitors

Solar cells that produce electricity 24/7, not just when the sun is shining. Mobile phones with built-in power cells that recharge in seconds and work for weeks between charges. These are just two of the possibilities raised by a novel supercapacitor design invented by material scientists at Vanderbilt University.
