We are proud to share that GREENCAP achieved a remarkable milestone on novel 2D material electrodes. For 2D material electrodes (i.e., MXene, functionalized MXene), GREENCAP achieved gravimetric capacitance of 300 F g-1 and volumetric capacitance of 160 F cm-3 in organic and water-based electrolytes When combined, 2D materials and ILs create a synergistic effect that enhances supercapacitors’ performance beyond each component’s capabilities alone. The large surface area of 2D materials provides a conducive environment for the ion transport and adsorption of ILs, facilitating faster charge-discharge cycles and improving the rate capability. The stable ion pairs in ILs can effectively infiltrate the interlayer spaces of 2D materials, contributing to efficient charge storage and transfer. This interaction not only improves capacitance but also mitigates issues like electrode degradation and electrolyte decomposition, thereby enhancing the overall stability and lifespan of the supercapacitor.
Congratulations to TUD and other GREENCAP partners on this outstanding achievement!
