India, Jan. 28 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
A high-voltage supercapacitor based on a dual-functional porous graphene carbon nanocomposite (PGCN) electrode has been developed which could facilitate stabler supercapacitors for applications like solar panels and also provide electric vehicles with increased range and faster acceleration.
Conventional electrolytes used in commercial supercapacitors can operate between 2.5-3.0 V and begin to decompose or face safety issues (such as flammability) at higher voltages.
Researchers at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) used dual-functional PGCN elect...
