Germany has connected the world’s first supercapacitor-based STATCOM to the grid, with Siemens Energy and transmission system operator TenneT positioning it as a blueprint to replace fossil-fuel ...

Supercapacitors are a special type of electrochemical energy storage device noted for their ability to deliver sudden bursts of energy. Batteries typically provide the bulk energy required for ...

This video explores the potential of graphene as a supercapacitor, a technology poised to significantly impact the renewable energy market. It delves into the evolution of graphene and its role in ...

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 ...

Single-use water bottles could soon charge your devices instead of polluting landfills. Researchers have developed new methods to upcycle poly(ethylene terephthalate ...

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 ...
