New Delhi, Jan. 28 -- A high-voltage supercapacitor based on a dual-functional Porous Graphene Carbon Nanocomposite (PGCN) electrode has been developed, which could facilitate stabler supercapacitors for applications like solar panels and also provide electric vehicles with increased range and faster acceleration, said the Ministry of Science & Technology in a statement on Wednesday.
Conventional electrolytes used in commercial supercapacitors can operate between 2.5-3.0 V and begin to decompose or face safety issues (such as flammability) at higher voltages.
This innovation addresses electrolyte instability, doubling energy density to provide electric vehicles with increased range and faster acceleration while simplifying module design t...
