July 18 , 2020 1595 days 1110 0
  • Recently International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI) has developed a low-cost, environmentally friendly, super capacitor electrode.
  • It can be used as an energy harvester storage device.
  • It is derived from industrial waste cotton.
  • The scientists have converted the industrial cotton waste into porous carbon fibres.
  • These fibres were used as electrodes.
  • The Natural seawater is explored as an alternative aqueous electrolyte.
  • Supercapacitors are next generation energy storage devices.
  • They have high power density, ultra-charging and long durability as compared to other conventional capacitors and lithium-ion batteries.
  • The four main components of super capacitors are electrolyte, electrode, separator and current collector.
