A Flexible Folding Paper Supercapacitor
November 22, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Elsevier is reporting that a team of researchers from the Plasma Physics Research Centre, Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran, have discovered a way of making paper supercapacitors for electricity storage. At one sheet thick, these new supercapacitors can bend, fold, flex, and still hold electricity. The team’s research paper […]

Using Paper to Make Supercapacitors
October 11, 2017 | 3 Comments
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have developed a paper-based flexible supercapacitor using a simple layer-by-layer coating technique that could be used to help power wearable devices. The device uses metallic nanoparticles to coat cellulose fibers in the paper, creating supercapacitor electrodes with high energy and power densities – and the best performance so far in […]

Fabric Like Electrode Created For Batteries & Supercaps
September 26, 2017 | 5 Comments
Drexel University researchers are making a fabric-like electrode material that could help make batteries and supercapacitors safer, better and less expensive. The new material also offers more operating speed while reducing the potential for leaks or disastrous meltdowns. Their design for a new supercapacitor, which looks something like a furry sponge infused with gelatin, offers […]

Stretchable Compressible Wearable Supercapacitors
July 6, 2017 | 1 Comment
Chinese scientists have introduced an extraordinarily stretchable and compressible polyelectrolyte. The new electrolyte when combined with carbon nanotube composite paper electrodes, forms a supercapacitor that can be stretched to 1000 percent in length and compressed to 50 percent in thickness without gaining and not losing capacity. The potential for flexible, wearable electronics that require equally […]
