#High performance, lightweight supercapacitor electrodes of the future Abstract: Researchers have developed a novel electrode to make low-cost, lightweight supercapacitors with superior performance,
a development that could mean faster charging time and longer battery life in electric vehicles and portable electronics.
As a novel energy storage device, supercapacitors have attracted substantial attention in recent years due to their ultra-high charge
which are both part of the promising future that supercapacitors could offer. Offsetting this promise is the fact that
while supercapacitors have the potential to charge faster and last longer than conventional batteries, they also need to be much larger in size
Thus, many scientists are working to develop green, lightweight, low-cost supercapacitors with high performance. Now two researchers from the S n. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India, have developed a novel supercapacitor electrode based on a hybrid nanostructure made from a hybrid nickel oxide-iron oxide
exterior shell and a conductive iron-nickel core. In a paper published this week in the Journal of Applied Physics
They also demonstrate its superior performance compared to existing, non-hybrid supercapacitor electrodes. Since nickel oxide and iron oxide are environmental friendly and cheap materials that are widely available in nature,
the novel electrode promises green and low-cost supercapacitors in future.""This hybrid electrode shows the superior electrochemical performance in terms of high capacitance the ability to store electrical charge of nearly 1415 farad per gram, high current density of 2. 5 ampere per gram,
"The Promise of Supercapacitors Supercapacitors are used electronic devices to store an extremely large amount of electrical charges.
They are also known as electrochemical capacitors, and they promise high power density, high rate capability, superb cycle stability and high energy density.
Conventional capacitors have high power density but low energy density, which means they can quickly charge
Supercapacitors are a bridge between conventional capacitors and batteries, combining the advantageous properties of high power, high energy density and low internal resistance,
In supercapacitors, high capacitance, or the ability to store an electrical charge, is critical to achieve higher energy density.
one can manipulate the performance and quality of the supercapacitors, "Singh said. In Singh's experiment, the core/shell hybrid nanostructure was fabricated through a two-step method.
He explained that supercapacitors store charges through a chemical process known as a redox reaction, which involves a material giving up electrons
Larger redox reaction surfaces are essential for achieving a higher power density for supercapacitors.""Moreover, the conductive Fe-Ni core provides a highway to accelerate the transport of electrons to the current collector,
and electrochemical properties of the electrode, realizing high-performance supercapacitors,"Singh noted. How the New Electrode Performed Using techniques called cyclic voltammetry
or graphene based supercapacitors for attaching redox active material on the current collector. Without the mass of binding materials, the hybrid electrode is a good candidate to make lightweight supercapacitors."
"The remarkable electrochemical performances and material properties suggest that the iron oxide-nickel oxide hybrid core/shell nanostructure could be a reliable and promising candidate for fabricating the next generation lightweight, low-cost
and green supercapacitor electrodes for real life application, "Singh said. The researchers'next plan is to develop a whole supercapacitor device based on the hybrid electrode and test its functional performance,

#Sol-gel capacitor dielectric offers record-high energy storage If the material can be scaled up from laboratory samples,
Capacitors often complement batteries in these applications because they can provide large amounts of current quickly.
Perry and colleagues in Georgia Tech's Center for Organic photonics and Electronics (COPE) had been working on other capacitor materials to meet these demands
so the group decided to pursue these materials for the new capacitor applications. Using an aluminized mylar film coated with the hybrid sol-gel capacitor material,
they showed that the capacitor could be rolled and rerolled several times while maintaining high energy density, demonstrating its flexibility.
But they were still seeing high current leakage. To address that, they deposited a nanoscale self-assembled monolayer of n-octylphosphonic acid on top of the hybrid sol-gel.
"This is the first time I've seen a capacitor beat a battery on energy density, "said Perry."
"The combination of high energy density and high power density is uncommon in the capacitor world.""Researchers in Perry's lab have been making arrays of small sol-gel capacitors in the lab to gather information about the material's performance.
The devices are made on small substrates about an inch square.""What we see when we apply an electric field is that the polarization response
"This is what you want to see in a capacitor dielectric material.""The next step will be to scale up the materials to see if the attractive properties transfer to larger devices.
