Bridging the Capacitor Energy Storage Gap: Challenges and Innovations

Bridging the Capacitor Energy Storage Gap: Challenges and Innovations

Ever wondered why your smartphone battery drains so fast while capacitors—those tiny components in every circuit—can charge in seconds? Welcome to the **capacitor energy storage gap**, the elephant in the room for energy storage tech. Simply put, capacitors store energy in an electric field, releasing it rapidly but struggling to hold large amounts long-term. Batteries, on the other hand, pack more punch but take ages to charge. The gap? Matching speed and capacity. [2022-10-22 07:28]
