'Holey' graphene for energy storage
San Diego CA (SPX) Apr 24, 2015
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have discovered a method to increase the amount of electric charge that can be stored in graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon. The research, published recently online in the journal Nano Letters, may provide a better understanding of how to improve the energy storage ability of capacitors for potential applications in cars, wind turbines, and solar power. Capacitors charge and discharge very fast, and are more useful for quick large bursts ... read more
