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. Conventional electrochemical supercapacitors store charge in electric double layers or in faradic reactions, permitting larger energy density storage on the electrode surfaces. Banerjee et al.
