Publication on the electrochemical flow capacitor (EFC) by nanomaterials group of DNI, Drexel University, USA. EFC is a new technology for grid energy storage that is based on the fundamental principles of supercapacitors.
Carbon onions represent one of the least studied carbon nanomaterials, and are seeing a large increase in attention for energy storage applications.
That research projects were organized by the U.S. Department of Energy (United States Department of Energy (DoE), Argonne National Laboratory, USA (Argonne National Laboratory, USA) for the development of new batteries for electric drive vehicles.
The potential pathways to increase the energy storage in electric double-layer (EDL) supercapacitors using room-temperature ionic liquid electrolytes and carbon-based nanostructured electrodes are explored by molecular dynamics simulations.
