Batteries have powered the clean energy revolution, but their chemistry can make them too slow and too bulky for applications that demand massive power bursts in seconds. A decades-old technology ...

Bourbon is a multi-billion-dollar market, but the American barrel-aged whiskey also produces a lot of wasted grain at distilleries. Chemists at the University of Kentucky developed a method to ...

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research? Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their ...

There was speculation that Donut Lab’s battery was able to discharge energy so quickly because it was a supercapacitor in disguise. So the startup set out to disprove that claim. There was speculation ...

A global leader in energy storage is expanding its manufacturing operation in west Michigan beyond lithium-ion batteries to include supercapacitors for automotive use, the company said Thursday.

Germany has connected the world’s first supercapacitor-based STATCOM to the grid, with Siemens Energy and transmission system operator TenneT positioning it as a blueprint to replace fossil-fuel ...

Supercapacitors are a special type of electrochemical energy storage device noted for their ability to deliver sudden bursts of energy. Batteries typically provide the bulk energy required for ...

Single-use water bottles could soon charge your devices instead of polluting landfills. Researchers have developed new methods to upcycle poly(ethylene terephthalate ...

Lots of single-use water bottles made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) end up in landfills, but there’s a growing interest in upcycling them instead ...

Scientists have been working for the last few years on enhancing concrete – arguably the most common construction material on the planet – to store energy. That includes researchers at Massachusetts ...

To store energy, batteries use chemistry, or rather, chemical potential. They consist of two electrical terminals (an anode and a cathode) separated by an electrolyte. When coupled to an external ...
