New Record Supercapacitor Storage Achievement
July 20, 2023 | Leave a Comment
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 […]

Better Supercapacitors With New Detergents Added
August 29, 2019 | Leave a Comment
An international team of scientists, including a professor of chemistry from the University of Bristol has worked out a way to improve energy storage devices called supercapacitors, by designing a new class of detergents chemically related to laxatives. Their paper, published today in the journal Nature Materials, explained why these detergents, called ionic liquids, are […]

New Materials Developed For Making Supercapacitors
February 27, 2019 | Leave a Comment
A Tohoku University research team has developed new materials for supercapacitors with higher voltage and better stability than other materials. Supercapacitors are rechargeable energy storage devices with a broad range of applications, from machinery to smart meters. They offer many advantages over batteries, including faster charging and longer lifespans, but they are not so good […]
