This project will create next-generation materials to maximize the energy and power densities of electrochemical capacitors (ECs). The performance gap between batteries and ECs remains paradox. Devices with high energy and power densities will largely boost the performance of electric vehicles, mobile devices and smart grids. By innovating the design of capacitor materials using layered fluid-in-solid architecture, the project will produce new-concept ECs with energy density approaching to batteries. Such ECs will synchronously possess dramatically high power density, intrinsically unlike hybrid battery-capacitor. This project will maximize the efficiency of future electronics, vehicles and grids with the new generation ECs.
