Supercapacitors possess a high cycle efficiency (more than a million cycles), a large number of charging cycles higher than 95%, and a faster discharge time with a longer life. The high value of a ...

Researchers discovered that common Kapton tape can be transformed into a powerful supercapacitor by exposing its surface to laser light, creating a graphene-like layer that stores electricity. Prop 50 ...

Lots of single-use water bottles made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) end up in landfills, but there’s a growing interest in upcycling them instead ...

Scientists have been working for the last few years on enhancing concrete – arguably the most common construction material on the planet – to store energy. That includes researchers at Massachusetts ...

To store energy, batteries use chemistry, or rather, chemical potential. They consist of two electrical terminals (an anode and a cathode) separated by an electrolyte. When coupled to an external ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As electronics become smaller, lighter, and more integrated into clothing, sensors, and mobile systems, the demand for energy storage devices that can operate under flexible, high ...

Craig has worked in automotive media for nearly 20 years, producing content for publications ranging from Autoline and AutoGuide to Roadshow by CNET and EV Pulse. Aside from writing, he’s also ...

Supercapacitors—also known as ultracapacitors—store energy similarly to batteries. However, they dispense power extremely quickly instead of over hours. As high-power-density energy storage systems, ...

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATX Networks, a global leader in broadband access and media distribution solutions, will introduce its new Areca™ Hybrid Supercapacitor Group 31 Energy Storage Modules at ...

Left) Schematic illustration of a composite of CNTs and PANIs. It shows that the covalently bonded PANIs are evenly distributed among the CNTs and that each PANI can act as a nanoscale cell. (Right) ...

Unlike batteries, which store and release energy through chemical reactions, supercapacitors store energy electrostatically. This allows them to charge and discharge much faster. A supercapacitor ...
