  Atlanta GA (SPX) Oct 09, 2017 Using a simple layer-by-layer coating technique, researchers from the U.S. and Korea have developed a paper-based flexible supercapacitor that could be used to help power wearable devices. The device uses metallic nanoparticles to coat cellulose fibers in the paper, creating supercapacitor electrodes with high energy and power densities - and the best performance so far in a textile-based supercapacitor. By implanting conductive and charge storage materials in the paper, the technique creates larg ... read more |
