Researchers Introduce a Supercapacitor that Use Light Energy for Self-Sustaining Operation Overview Researchers from IISc's Department of Instrumentation and A p plied Physics have develo ped a su perca pacitor that charges with light, suitable for streetlights and self- powered sensors. Advancements in Su perca pacitor Technology Enhanced Electrochemical Storage According to Abha Mishra, Professor at IAP, su perca pacitors are an advanced form of ca pacitors that use electrochemical reactions to store greater amounts of energy, as discussed in her study published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A . Breakthrough in Electrode Design In a breakthrough by Pankaj Singh Chauhan from Mishra's IISc group, the new su perca pacitor incor porates zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod electrodes directly on trans parent fluorine-do ped tin oxide (FTO). The photo-rechargeable su perca pacitor benefits from the com plementary semiconductor pro perties of ZnO and FTO's trans parency allo...
