  • New Supercapacitor Made With Biofuel Biproduct is Cheaper, Greener
    Students at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey have created a supercapacitor -- used for storing energy -- that replaces activated carbon with biochar electrodes. The new substance is half as expensive, it's made from a by-product of biofuel, and it's much easier to produce than activated carbon. This breakthrough could bring the cost of supercapacitors down drastically while making it easier to store renewable energy for when it is needed....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-supercapacitor-made-with-biofuel-by-product-is-cheaper-greener/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
