(Nanowerk News) Supercapacitors, electrical devices that store and release energy, need a layer of electrolyte — an electrically conductive material that can be solid, liquid, or somewhere in between.

The development of various technologies has led to the advent of a variety of deformable devices. Despite significant technological advancement in this area, it is still challenging to integrate ...

Supercapacitors are an essential energy storage mechanism in self-powered systems. Their high-energy capacities combined with their ability to provide high-power output make them ideal for ultra-low ...

A supercapacitor is a double-layer capacitor that has very high capacitance but low voltage limits. Supercapacitors store more energy than electrolytic capacitors and they are rated in farads (F).

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics (IAP) and associates created a new supercapacitor that can be charged by shining light on it.

How tailored chemical solutions provide the supercapacitor layers. How these solutions were 3D-printed onto a substrate, then folded to create the supercapacitor. How the final supercapacitor performs ...

(Nanowerk News) Smartwatches, fitness trackers and other Internet of Things devices could get a significant boost to their “battery” life thanks to new, environmentally friendly energy research from ...

Compared to other capacitors, a super capacitor (ultracapacitor) is outstanding for its very high charge storage capacity and very low equivalent series resistance. Its high cycle life, low charging ...
