Professor Qiao published in “Nature Materials”

Accelerating charging dynamics in subnanometre pores Svyatoslav Kondrat, Peng Wu, Rui Qiao, and Alexei A. Kornyshev Supercapacitors store energy physically and have distinct advantages over batteries in terms of power density and cyclability. The widespread deployment of supercapacitors, however, is limited by their moderate energy density. Supercapacitors’ energy density can be increased using ionic liquids […]
