Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… MIT engineers have created a supercapacitor from just cement, water, and carbon black. The supercapacitor is made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. The device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy. According to a new study two […]

University of Texas at El Paso researchers describe how they have achieved the highest level of energy storage – also known as capacitance – in a supercapacitor ever recorded. Years ago there was a series of supercapacitor claims that simply didn’t come to fruition. The new landmark study claims are quite worthwhile after a long […]

Manufacturers of everything from smartphones to electric cars are therefore investing heavily into research and development of these electronic components. Now, researchers have developed a method that represents a […]

Curtin University research has found a simple and affordable method to determine which chemicals and types of metals are best used to store and supply energy. This may be a breakthrough for any battery-run devices and technologies reliant on the fast and reliable supply of electricity, including smart phones and tablets. Lead author Associate Professor […]

A Technical University of Munich (TUM) team has reported it has developed a highly efficient supercapacitor. The basis of the energy storage device is a novel, powerful and also sustainable graphene hybrid material that has comparable performance data to currently utilized batteries. The team working with Roland Fischer, Professor of Inorganic and Metal-Organic Chemistry at […]
