Graphene Supercapacitors: The End Of Batteries? | EarthTechling

supercapacitor grapheneIf these UCLA researchers are right – and we might find out pretty soon – energy storage could be in for a big change.

Richard Kaner and his graduate student Maher El-Kady have been trumpeting graphene micro-supercapacitors that would combine the very fast charge and discharging capabilities of supercapacitors – hundreds of times faster than batteries – with the high energy density of batteries. Now the researches say they have demonstrated a scalable fabrication process that could make their supercapacitors cheap to produce while expanding the possibilities for their use.
