Nano Enhanced Supercapacitor for Energy Storage (NESES)

The goal of this project is to electrochemically use nanocomposite materials for both electrodes and electrolyte and to characterize their physicochemical properties for the development of a supercapacitor with high power capabilities. Although the electrodes could be fabricated by a variety of competing processes, in this project, pulse electrodeposition is chosen because of its several advantages. The following are the intended outcomes: 1) develop electrodes using nanocomposite materials and test its properties 2) choose appropriate electrolyte and separators and build a prototype of the supercapacitor. 3) evaluate the performance of the developed supercapacitor.
