Longer lasting EV batteries thanks to new capacitor with higher energy density created by mistake
Electric cars and laptop batteries could charge up much faster and last longer thanks to a new structure that can be used to make much better capacitors in the future.
Researchers have developed capacitors from new “heterostructures” with a novel property that reduces the speed at which energy dissipates without affecting their ability to charge quickly.
The new capacitor has 19-times higher energy density and the scientists created it by mistake.
