MIT engineers have created a "supercapacitor" made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy.
The early researches have shown the unsuspected possibilities of supercapacitors and traced a new direction for the development of electrical energy storage systems . In recent times, with the development of new materials and technologies, very large developed surfaces and very small inter-electrode distances have been achieved.
On the contrary, battery-type electrodes store charge via a reversible faradaic process in which the charged and discharged electrodes undergo a phase transition. As a novel kind of energy storage, the supercapacitor offers the following advantages: 1. Durable cycle life. Supercapacitor energy storage is a highly reversible technology. 2.
