NETL investigating researching chemistries for large-scale battery- and supercapacitor-based grid energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

NETL researchers have synthesized Si-C (carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, carbon mattes, graphene) composite anodes. Most supercapacitor systems to date rely on carbon-based structures utilizing electrochemical double layer capacitance (EDLC) phenomenon based on charge transfer occurring from adsorbed species.
