Energy Storage With “Sponge Bob” Carbon-Free Supercapacitor
MIT researchers win their energy storage bet: a material known for poor conductivity can be successfully deployed to replace carbon in supercapacitors.

Originally published on the Lux Research website. New advanced materials like MOFs (metal organic frameworks), advanced high-strength steel, and carbon nanotubes have the potential to enable novel products and disrupt existing businesses. However, material commercialization timelines are notoriously long and unpredictable. Now, Lux Research analysts have designed a tool that can help … [continued]
One of the biggest obstacles to large-scale use of hydrogen-powered fuel cells is in how to store the hydrogen, a task which currently requires high pressure,… which, itself, is energy intensive. Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are aiming to solve this problem by creating new materials in which to store the hydrogen.
