Digital quantum batteries hold a lot of promise, theoretically

Want a battery that recharges insanely fast and can hold more than ten times the energy of a lithium-ion battery? Then get in line for one of the digital quantum batteries that are being developed discussed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. And don't forget to pack a lunch, because these packs won't be ready for a while. Perhaps in time for the 2030 Tesla Model Z. Called "digital quantum batteries," the ides is that to pack ultra-tiny nanoscale capacitors into a small space with only 10 nanometers (100 atoms) of space ... Read more →

Most promising green technologies number four: ultracapacitors Jeremy Korzeniewski

While batteries make most of the headlines when it comes to the energy storage requirements of electric cars, the capacitor could be an exciting and viable alternative. Unlike batteries, which store ...

Ultracapacitors will be the next hot thing for hybrids Xavier Navarro

In a recent article in Popular Mechanics, editor Mike Allen declared himself a fan of ultracapacitors for hybrid cars. He explains how he visited Honda's development facilities 15 years ago and ...

New capacitor material could make them practical for EVs Sam Abuelsamid

One of the means that electrically powered vehicles used to maximize their range is regenerative braking where the kinetic energy of the vehicle is recaptured during deceleration and than released ...

While batteries make most of the headlines when it comes to the energy storage requirements of electric cars, the capacitor could be an exciting and viable alternative. Unlike batteries, which store chemical energy and make it available for use as electrical energy, capacitors store energy in the ...

Ultracapacitors will be the next hot thing for hybrids 1 year ago on Autoblog Green

In a recent article in Popular Mechanics, editor Mike Allen declared himself a fan of ultracapacitors for hybrid cars. He explains how he visited Honda's development facilities 15 years ago and found himself testing a mild hybrid that used an ultracapacitor to store energy. However, we all know ...

New capacitor material could make them practical for EVs 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

One of the means that electrically powered vehicles used to maximize their range is regenerative braking where the kinetic energy of the vehicle is recaptured during deceleration and than released during acceleration. The problem is that most batteries can't absorb energy quickly enough to capture ...
