Super Cheap Super Simple Super Easy Supercapacitor

August 2, 2023 | Leave a Comment

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 […]

New Device Is Both a Supercapacitor and Makes Hydrogen

November 29, 2017 | 6 Comments

UCLA Scientists have developed a 2-in-1 device that uses supercapacitor to store energy and spit hydrogen from water. The device could make hydrogen cars affordable for many more consumers because it produces hydrogen using nickel, iron and cobalt — elements that are much more abundant and less expensive than the platinum and other precious metals […]

Graphene From CO2 May Be Made Into a Supercapacitor

August 9, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Michigan Technological University researchers have developed a new way to make surface-microporous 3-D graphene, which has a unique structure of mesopores and micropores, that could be made into a supercapacitor. The new process makes tiny dents in the surface of the graphene greatly enhancing its potential as a supercapacitor. Even better, it can be made […]

New Fast Cheap Way to Make Supercapacitor Electrodes

July 19, 2017 | 1 Comment

University of Washington (UW) researchers have developed a fast, inexpensive method to make electrodes for supercapacitors. The important applications include electric cars, wireless telecommunications and high-powered lasers. But to realize these applications, supercapacitors need better electrodes, which connect the supercapacitor to the devices that depend on their energy. These electrodes need to be both quicker […]
