UCSD engineers' new device stores energy and supports load

Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.

This miniature boat is built from a structural supercapacitor—a material that provides both structural support and energy storage capabilities.

A team of researchers led by professors Tse Nga Ng and Xinyu Zhang from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego has solved this problem by creating a structural supercapacitor that excels at both functions. They reported their work in The electrodes are made of carbon fibers woven into a fabric, which gives them high mechanical strength. They are coated with a conductive polymer mixture and reduced graphene oxide, improving their ion flow and energy storage capacity.
