NEW CARBON MATERIAL SETS ENERGY-STORAGE RECORD, LIKELY TO ADVANCE SUPERCAPACITORS

Guided by machine learning, researchers have designed a carbon material that stores four times more energy than current materials. Guided by machine learning, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory designed a record-setting carbonaceous supercapacitor material that stores four times more energy than the best commercial material. A supercapacitor made with the new material could store more energy — improving regenerative brakes, power electronics and auxiliary power supplies.
