Graphene (super) supercapacitor: an energy revolution
Graphene seems to be living up to its promise in many fields, while some (like flexible ultrathin computers) are still waiting to happen. The newest shock in the graphene community is coming from the material’s ability to be integrated into supercapacitors, which are like ordinary lithium ion batteries with much faster charging times. Such batteries […]
