Ultracapacitors built with carbon nanotubes and graphene deliver high-performance at low cost

Researchers at George Washington University combined graphene flakes and carbon nanotubes, spread them on paper, and rolled them into a new light-weight, high-performance, low-cost ultracapacitor.

What can be better than one carbon-based single-atom-thick material? The answer is two such materials, of course. Researchers at the George Washington University’s Micro-propulsion and Nanotechnology Laboratory successfully combined single-walled carbon nanotubes with single-atom-thick graphene in a slurry that they spread on paper and rolled into an ultracapacitor capable of storing and releasing electrical energy… [Pending]
