Howard Becker, a General Electric engineer, invented the first supercapacitors in the 1950s. NEC gave this name in 1978, and the device was utilized as a kind of backup powerContinue Reading
Supercapacitors have been around since the 1950s, but their true potential has only just become apparent. They store energy in the same way as batteries do, but on entirely differentContinue Reading
UC Riverside engineers have developed a way to recycle plastic waste, such as soda or water bottles, into a nanomaterial useful for energy storage. Mihri and Cengiz Ozkan and theirContinue Reading
There are batteries and there are supercapacitors. Both do the same thing — store electrical energy. Batteries charge relatively slowly and discharge slowly. Supercapacitors charge quickly and discharge quickly. BatteriesContinue Reading
Flexible, lightweight and highly efficient micro-supercapacitors have been developed by Indian scientists, for potential use in advanced miniaturized digital devices. A team of scientists led by Prof Abha Misra atContinue Reading
Unlike batteries, supercapacitors can charge and discharge much more rapidly — a boon for impatient drivers who want to be able to charge their electric cars quickly. The key toContinue Reading
MIT researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking concept – concrete that stores energy! This innovation holds immense promise for tackling the critical challenge of storing renewable energy. Damian Stefaniuk and hisContinue Reading
The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is picking up speed, and with it, comes the demand for faster charging times. While lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the EV landscape, new research suggestsContinue Reading
