Homes could soon feature columns of concrete mixed with charcoal that have the ability to store electricity and discharge it when needed by occupants. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

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 ...

Supercapacitors offer quicker recharge and discharge times than batteries but suffer from diminished capacity. Most supercapacitors use porous carbon as active electrode materials, such as activated ...

If batteries are the marathon runners of the energy storage world, then supercapacitors are sprinters: great for short bursts of power but not so great long-term. Now engineers from Georgia Tech and ...

Supercapacitors hold incredible potential when it comes to energy storage, with an ability to charge and discharge almost instantly being one of their major selling points. Were key components for ...

Researchers at Drexel University are one step closer to making wearable textile technology a reality. Recently published in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Journal of Material’s Chemistry A, ...

Researchers have developed a new analysis technique that will help scientists improve renewable energy storage by making better supercapacitors. Researchers from the University of Surrey's Advanced ...

Researchers at the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics (IAP), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have designed a novel ultramicro supercapacitor, a tiny device capable of storing an ...
