The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is picking up speed, and with it, comes the demand for faster charging times. While lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the EV landscape, new research suggestsContinue Reading
Howard Becker, a General Electric engineer, invented the first supercapacitors in the 1950s. NEC gave this name in 1978, and the device was utilized as a kind of backup powerContinue Reading
Supercapacitors have been around since the 1950s, but their true potential has only just become apparent. They store energy in the same way as batteries do, but on entirely differentContinue Reading
Mahle Powertrain and Allotrope Energy, both located in the United Kingdom, have announced a revolutionary battery technology that might transform EV charging. It is known as lithium-carbon technology, and itContinue Reading
In a new study, researchers at Texas A&M University have described their novel plant-based energy storage device that could charge even electric cars within a few minutes in the nearContinue Reading
There are batteries and there are supercapacitors. Both do the same thing — store electrical energy. Batteries charge relatively slowly and discharge slowly. Supercapacitors charge quickly and discharge quickly. BatteriesContinue Reading
Indian scientists have demonstrated that wastewater from some of the dirtiest industrial processes can be turned into a carbon source for preparation of energy storage materials. Researchers led by scientistsContinue Reading
