Supercapacitor Breakthrough Promises 60-Second Device Charging

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, led by Ankur Gupta, have developed a model to predict ion movement in complex nanopore networks, potentially revolutionizing energy storage technology. This breakthrough could lead to faster-charging supercapacitors with extended lifespans, benefiting applications from vehicles to power grids and wearable devices. The model challenges traditional principles and significantly accelerates computational efficiency, enabling the simulation of thousands of interconnected pores within minutes.
