In a significant step towards a more sustainable future, a collaborative research effort led by the University of Houston (UH), Jackson State University (JSU), and Howard University (HU) has yielded a groundbreaking innovation: a highly flexible capacitor with unmatched energy. . This ultra-thin structure, remarkably thinner than a human hair, surpasses the performance of capacitors with randomly dispersed nanofillers, exhibiting superior energy density and efficiency. A capacitor prototype with stratified 2D nanofillers embedded in the polymer matrix being tested in a. . Fitness trackers, internet-connected thermostats and other smart devices offer many benefits, but their growing popularity is driving up energy consumption, along with the need for more efficient energy storage solutions in small sizes. Capacitors are gaining attention as energy storage devices because they have higher charge and discharge rates than batteries. There exist two primary categories of energy storage capacitors: dielectric. . While small to begin with, the experts think the invention could "revolutionize" energy storage for the medical, aviation, electric vehicle, consumer electronics, and defense industries, all per a Houston lab report. In a study published in Science, lead author Sang-Hoon Bae, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, demonstrates a. .
