Recently published research by Guoping Xiong, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, could help pave the way for a new generation of supercapacitors, capable of storing more energy and lasting ...

A high-voltage supercapacitor based on a dual-functional porous graphene carbon nanocomposite (PGCN) electrode has been developed which could facilitate stabler supercapacitors for applications ...

Supercapacitors provide you with design options for power holdup, power bridging, pulse-power support, and more. For hands-on supercapacitor experience, Cooper Electronic Technologies offers design ...

When looking at energy and energy-storage applications, a case can be made that capacitors are the “unsung heroes” of the field. As passive devices, these two-terminal electrical components store ...

Mechanical engineers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and four other institutions have designed a super-efficient and long-lasting electrode for supercapacitors.

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).

A researchers team made up of engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) have 3D printed supercapacitor electrodes capable of ...

In their simplest form, capacitors hold an electric charge. Capacitors use parallel plates separated by a dielectric material—which can be as simple as paper, plastic, or even air. They emit current ...

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 ...
