There’s a story from MIT that might just be the real thing, though, as a team from that university claim to have made a viable supercapacitor from materials as simple as cement, carbon black ...

A supercapacitor, which is also known as an ultracapacitor or electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), is an energy storage ...

In recent years, supercapacitors (capacitors with increased capacity and performance) have been developed using nanocarbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which increase the surface ...

From this aspect, graphene shows great potential for replacing conventional activated carbon – the material that has been used in commercial supercapacitors to date – which has a specific surface area ...

Their supercapacitor harnesses the unique properties of cellulose ... These nanofibers are combined with nanoscale activated carbon particles (processed through high-speed ball milling) to create a ...

Supercapacitor technology often looks like a revolutionary energy storage technology on the surface, but the actual performance numbers can be rather uninspiring. However, for rapid and repeated ...

Kyocera AVX has released an on-line supercapacitor calculator for its SCC and SCM series. It takes into account discharge requirements, initial and end-of-life capacitance values, and initial and ...

While traditional SPVWPSs with direct drive are not very efficient due to fluctuations in solar radiation, the team has suggested a system that uses an intermediate supercapacitor module (SCM ...

The extra power generated by the supercapacitor is deployed by the ... although thanks to the extensive use of carbon fibre it actually weighs a few kilos less, with a quoted dry kerb weight ...
