Structural supercapacitors; composite materials for high-density energy storage. KU Leuven
The main goal of this PhD research is to develop and optimize composite materials to be used as structural supercapacitors. Furthermore, those structural composites possess the additional functionality of very high capacitance. The resulting materials will thus be multifunctional components to be applied in diverse engineering structures.
The use of a capacitor for energy storage offers numerous advantages. The (dis)charging of a ...
