The Solid State and Materials Research Group has come up with a lithium-ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood ...

Single-use water bottles could soon charge your devices instead of polluting landfills. Researchers have developed new methods to upcycle poly(ethylene terephthalate ...

Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting power, storing energy, and bio-sensing makes sense—after all, everyone wears a shirt. A team at the University of Massachusetts has developed a way to combine ...

MIT researchers have discovered that when you mix cement and carbon black with water, the resulting concrete self-assembles into an energy-storing supercapacitor that can put out enough juice to power ...

Researchers develop a rechargeable iron electrode formulated with carbonyl iron and bismuth sulfide that could make iron-air batteries practical for storing energy generated by renewable sources.

Scientists have come up with a lithium ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood particles that are discarded as waste in sawmills. This biomass is both readily available and sustainable, ...

Researchers combined conductive threads with a polymer film to create a flexible mesh of electrodes on a textile backing that functions as a supercapacitor. Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting ...

In the quest for sustainable energy solutions capable of meeting the energy needs of modern society, energy storage systems play a hugely important role; indeed, “in the field of renewable energies we ...
