New Electrostatic Nanocapacitors Offer High Power and High Energy Density

Green Car Congress

Batteries, particularly lithium-ion, store large amounts of energy but have more difficulty with high power or fast recharge. Electrostatic capacitors are characterized by high power but energy storage is limited because only surface charge is used. Banerjee et al. Click to enlarge. Gary Rubloff.
