Recently published research by Guoping Xiong, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, could help pave the way for a new generation of supercapacitors, capable of storing more energy and lasting ...

Mechanical engineers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and four other institutions have designed a super-efficient and long-lasting electrode for supercapacitors.

A supercapacitor is a double-layer capacitor that has very high capacitance but low voltage limits. Supercapacitors store more energy than electrolytic capacitors and they are rated in farads (F).

How to build a photovoltaic light system that operates at all times and is maintenance-free. The key role of the supercapacitor in this design. What is the "Joule Thief" circuit? Delivering ...

Supercapacitors provide you with design options for power holdup, power bridging, pulse-power support, and more. For hands-on supercapacitor experience, Cooper Electronic Technologies offers design ...

A researchers team made up of engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) have 3D printed supercapacitor electrodes capable of ...

In their simplest form, capacitors hold an electric charge. Capacitors use parallel plates separated by a dielectric material—which can be as simple as paper, plastic, or even air. They emit current ...
