In a new landmark chemistry study, researchers describe how they have achieved the highest level of energy storage -- also known as capacitance -- in a supercapacitor ever recorded. . A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits. It bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries. Unlike traditional capacitors, which store energy solely through charge separation, supercapacitors employ. . Among the two major energy storage devices (capacitors and batteries), electrochemical capacitors (known as 'Supercapacitors') play a crucial role in the storage and supply of conserved energy from various sustainable sources.
