Engineers from Australia's Monash University have reportedly made a significant breakthrough in supercapacitor technology that they say could pave the way for next-generation applications in electrified transport, grid stabilisation, and consumer electronics.
Supercapacitors are labelled as an emerging class of energy storage device that store charge electrostatically, rather than through chemical reactions such as those found in traditional batteries.
According to Dr Petar Jovanović, a research fellow in the ARC AM2D Hub and co-author of the study, say that – when assembled into pouch cell devices – the new supercapacitors can deliver volumetric energy densities of up to 99.5 Wh/L, power densities as high as 69.2 kW/L, and rapid charging capabilities with excellent cycle stability.
Ionic considers that super-capacitors and nano-capacitors are the next step in the evolution of energy storage. Research and development expenditure on these devices is advancing quickly and the research indicates these devices have many advantages over current battery technology.
