Development of highly porous carbon-based materials for supercapacitors

Co-PI: Hudson Zanin – UNICAMP – School of Electrical and Computer Engineering – hudsonzanin@gmail.com

The main objectives are to develop highly porous carbon-based materials and study the effects of different surface functionalizations for application in supercapacitor devices. After five years of research, it is expected to improve the storage and supply of high energy (~ 100Wh / kg) and power (100kW / kg) densities, maintaining at least 80% of them after 100,000 charge and discharge cycles as the current state of the art.
