Australian scientists invented the "super capacitor" new material

Australian National University released the news on the 1st, said the school scientists invented a can store more energy, less loss of insulation material can be used to create "supercapacitors", in renewable energy, electric vehicles, defense and aerospace The field has a high application value.

Insulating material is the main material for making capacitors. The newly invented material is rutile (titanium dioxide) with a niobium-indium composite coating that performs significantly better than currently used materials, is capable of storing more energy, has less loss, and is capable of operating at temperatures between minus 190 degrees Celsius and 180 degrees Celsius Stable under conditions of work.

Liu Yun, an associate professor at the Australian National University, said the new material has great potential for further development and can then be used to create "supercapacitors" that will break the existing energy storage limits for renewable energy, electric vehicles, defense and aerospace technology Innovation opens the door.

Professor Ray Weiss, who is involved in the research, said the new material is of positive significance for wind and solar power generation. The current generated by wind turbines and solar panels varies with the natural conditions, but the integration of the grid requires a steady current, otherwise it will cause damage to the grid. Therefore, a large capacitor must be used to store the current to keep the current output balanced. Meet this requirement.

Relevant papers published in the latest issue of the British "natural - Materials Science" magazine. Liu Yun said that research and development of new materials after 5 years, this material does not harm the environment, non-toxic, and rich in origin.
