Researchers at Rice University developed a solid-state micro-supercapacitor that they say rivals the best supercapacitors available for energy storage and delivery. The device is not a battery but is ...

A capacitor is like a high-speed battery that can quickly store and release energy. What happens when it becomes 'super?' Researchers have potential solutions to improve energy-efficiency. Researchers ...

Scientists from Skoltech, the Institute of Nanotechnology of Microelectronics, RAS, and other research centers have refined the understanding of how plasma treatment of carbon-based electrodes affects ...

Graphene has been very hot in scientific circles since it was first produced in 2004. This one-atom thick layer of carbon has been found to have such remarkable properties that its discoverers were ...

At florrent in South Deerfield, raw materials such as pecan shells, charred shells and activated carbon are used to make supercapacitors. At florrent in South Deerfield, process engineering manager ...

Photo-chargeable supercapacitor showed 3000% rise in capacitance under light compared to the dark. A novel necking behavior is discovered upon illumination. Researchers at the Department of ...

Vianney Ngoyi Kitenge receives funding from the National Research Foundation (NRF) South Africa. Imagine turning fruit waste into technology that stores electricity. This would reduce food waste and ...

A recent article in Battery Energy outlines a method for converting cigarette filter waste (CFW) into carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) through a single-step, low-impact pyrolysis process. The goal is to ...

What do , , , and have in common? They can be engineered into strange, but functional, energy storage devices called supercapacitors. Like their name suggests, supercapacitors are like capacitors with ...
