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 ...

Scientists have set themselves the goal of improving these ubiquitous, fast storage devices by developing a new kind of electrode based on graphene. Supercapacitors are the nimble little siblings of ...

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 ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...

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 ...

Kyocera AVX has launched a new version of its SpiCAT online simulation software for supercapacitors. The SpiCAT online simulation software helps engineers select the right Kyocera AVX components for ...
