Hybrid Supercapacitor Gives Energy Density Of Lead-Acid Batteries (Video)

Hybrid supercapacitor developed by UCLA

The need to increase electric-car ranges and decrease charging times has led to huge amounts of research into improved battery chemistries. But why stop at the stuff that goes into the battery? Why not change the battery itself? Scientists at UCLA’s California NanoSystems Institute says they have developed a hybrid device that goes beyond simple… …read more
