Super energy storage: Activated graphene makes superior supercapacitors for energy storage

Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 15:20 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have uncovered the nanoscale structure of a novel form of carbon, contributing to an explanation of why this new material acts like a super-absorbent sponge when it comes to soaking up electric charge. The material can be incorporated into "supercapacitor" energy-storage devices with remarkably high storage capacity, superfast energy release, quick recharge time, and a lifetime of at least 10,000 charge/discharge cycles.
