This week, researchers have demonstrated their design for a new supercapacitor that provides a potential power solution for wearable electronics. What problems do wearable technologies face, and how does flexible electronics help to make wearable devices a reality? Ridged Designs The wearable electronics industry is currently in its infancy, and products in this field are […]

Silicon is an appealing anode material for Li-ion batteries because it can hold about 10 times the electrical charge per gram compared to graphite. However, silicon suffers from large volume change during lithiation/delithiation, leading to structure failure. Although nanostructured Si can mitigate that structure failure, nanomaterials, with their high surface area and low tap density, […]

Electric bus in La Spezia with “Supercapacitor” Supercapacitor is a capacitor that eliminates traditional batteries and offers decidedly superior performance. They designed it at the Polytechnic of Milan and for now it is being tested on buses. It could soon attract the attention of car manufacturers and revolutionize the electric drive mobility sector. The capacitor […]

Supercapacitors, with their unique characteristics, are replacing batteries in some applications. So does the future hold purely capacitive devices, with batteries mostly relegated to the past? Or is the advance of supercapacitors bound to stop? Batteries vs Supercapacitors Most of the devices around us have a battery, and often it is a lithium ion battery, […]

Researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee are studying renewable energy storage systems in silicon chips thanks to supercapacitors. Vanderbilt scientists created the first supercapacitor (also called supercapacitor, that is, a particular electric capacitor capable of storing huge quantities of energy compared to its small size) made of silicon. This invention opens up the possibility […]
