Ultrathin Membranes for Energy Storage and Conversion

This one-year project will initiate an international collaboration between Dalhousie University and the University of Limerick focused on designing the next generation of supercapacitors that are essential for the broad adoption of sustainable energy technologies including batteries and fuel cells. Recent technological advances from researchers at both institutions have the potential to significantly advance the power density and energy density of these devices, increasing the performance of electric vehicles and other energy demanding platforms. If successful, the investigators will advance these discoveries for commercial development in partnership with industry.
