EMPHASIS is working on creating new supercapacitors (SC) that are specifically designed for consumer use. The aim is to develop sustainable energy storage solutions in two key areas essential for meeting the needs of modern life: electromobility and smart clothing.
To achieve this goal, EMPHASIS is taking an innovative approach that involves using new materials sourced from natural resources, improving design processes, and pushing the boundaries of existing energy storage technologies. Creating successful SC cells is a complex task that requires expertise from a variety of science and technology areas.
EMPHASIS addresses this challenge by facilitating close collaboration between partners from different fields. Although high-energy density electrodes can now be made, current procedures are not scalable or cost-effective. EMPHASIS is proposing a rational design approach that optimises key components of the SC cell - electrode materials, electrolytes, and current collectors - in a way that maximises their synergy.
