Plastic bottles reborn as energy-storing supercapacitors in new upcycling leap
Researchers have developed new methods to upcycle poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) from discarded bottles into components for supercapacitors, devices that store and release energy quickly.
A research team achieves 63% energy storage efficiency and 5.17% overall efficiency by combining a supercapacitor with a solar cell. Jeongmin Kim, Senior Researcher at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee), in ...
Left) Schematic illustration of a composite of CNTs and PANIs. It shows that the covalently bonded PANIs are evenly distributed among the CNTs and that each PANI can act as a nanoscale cell. (Right) ...
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 ...
