- This invention will lead to novel materials that when implemented in supercapacitors will result in signficantly improved performance which is a combination of capacitance and cycle life.
Innovation Details
Detailed Description
- Novel composition that will lead to chemically stable supercapacitor systems.
- The novel process will lead to nano-particles of the system exhibiting very high surface areas on the order of 250-300 m2/g.
- The novel approach will result in chemically stable systems exhibiting high surface areas.
- The electrochemical response of the system will superseed the performance of current materials namely, Carbon forms and transition metal oxides such as Ruthenium Oxides.
- Combination of the mixed metal transition metal nitrides with carbon nanotube formulations using a novel mixing methodology will lead to superior response times in comparison to current materials.
