Next-generation fluid-in-solid capacitor materials

该项目将创建下一代材料，以最大限度地提高电化学电容器（EC）的能量和功率密度。电池和EC之间的性能差距仍然是矛盾的。具有高能量和功率密度的设备将大大提高电动汽车、移动的设备和智能电网的性能。通过使用分层流体固体结构创新电容器材料的设计，该项目将生产能量密度接近电池的新概念EC。这样的EC将同时具有显着的高功率密度，本质上不同于混合电池-电容器。该项目将利用新一代EC最大限度地提高未来电子产品、车辆和电网的效率。

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.
