While supercapacitors offer rapid charge times and virtually unlimited cycle life, they have long been overshadowed by Lithium-ion batteries due to their low energy density. This is because traditional supercapacitor development has hit an engineering plateau, constrained by the scaling laws of physical surface area and liquid electrolytes. This talk introduces a shift from geometric engineering to Quantum Electronic Engineering. By utilizing the unique electronic properties of 2D solid-state heterostructures, we can move beyond the limits of traditional electrostatic storage. We will explore how 'electronic pressure' and Machine Learning-accelerated lattice design allow us to rethink charge storage at the atomic level, aiming to finally bridge the energy-density gap between supercapacitors and high-end batteries.

There is no sanctuary
I'm a physicist by training, but have spent my career working in software development and testing. I did teach physics for a bit, but now I just work in software development. I still enjoy physics though, and one of my interests is DIY energy storage. I've been an Ubuntu user since... Read More →
