A composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin is being developed that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can. The material combines carbon fibers and a polymer resin, creating a very advanced nanomaterial, and structural supercapacitors. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

Milczarek and Inganäs describe how a class of organic compounds known as quinones allows the lignin derivatives to shed a proton and store this electric charge in its place. Materials for charge storage are desired from easily accessible and renewable sources. Their research appears in the 23 March issue of the journal Science.

The hybrid tug used in the study, the Carolyn Dorothy ( earlier post ), is powered by two 1,342 kW Cummins QSK50-M main engines and 317 kW Cummins QSM11-M auxiliary generators. It also has 126 soft gel lead acid batteries for power storage that are separated into two arrays with 63 batteries each. Each array stores 170.1
