“Scientists have taken a big step towards creating the next generation of batteries, as well as more effective water treatment and better alternative energy after defying one of nature’s most fundamental rules on an atomic scale. An international team …
“Northern China’s roadsides are peppered with deciduous phoenix trees, producing an abundance of fallen leaves in autumn. These leaves are generally burned in the colder season, exacerbating the country’s air pollution problem. Investigators in Shandong, China, recently discovered …
“I tested a small 1.5 F capacitor together with ATtiny85 microcontroller. It is manufactured by Panasonic and operates at a maximum voltage of 5.5 V. The capacitor is designed for back-up of low-energy devices. I used the ATtiny85 …
“Researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and the University of Cambridge have found a way to improve all three problems in one stroke. Their prototyped polymer electrode, which resembles a candy cane usually hung on a Christmas tree …
“The rapid development of wearable technology has received another boost from a new development using graphene for printed electronic devices.New research from The University of Manchester has demonstrated flexible battery-like devices printed directly on to textiles using a simple …
“Liquid electrolytes are essential components in a variety of emerging energy technologies, including batteries, supercapacitors and solar-to-fuel devices. “To predict and optimize the performance of these devices, a detailed understanding of the electrolytes, particularly their electronic properties such as the …
“For this project we are going to take advantage of supercapacitors to power a vibrobot. In other words, we are going to be using 15F capacitors to power vibrating motors to make robots which move around through vibrations. The basic …
News Scientists Demonstrate New Real-Time Technique for Studying Ionic Liquids at Electrode Interfaces
“Ionic liquids—salts made by combining positively charged molecules (cations) and negatively charged molecules (anions) that are liquid at relatively low temperatures, often below room temperature—are increasingly being investigated for uses in batteries, supercapacitors, and transistors. Their unique physical …
Tags RICE.Edu “Rice University scientists who invented laser-induced graphene (LIG) for applications like supercapacitors have now figured out a way to make the spongy graphene either superhydrophobic or superhydrophilic. Until recently, the Rice lab of James Tour made LIG …
“Researchers from UCLA and the University of Connecticut have designed a new biofriendly energy storage system called a biological supercapacitor, which operates using charged particles, or ions, from fluids in the human body. The device is harmless to the body …
