Supercapacitors could now offer more energy storage with new ion flow model

Splitting current at pore junctions can slow ion flow, with the split location and pore arrangement influencing the charging speed.Researchers have gathered valuable insights into the movement of ions in a network of nanopores, which will help improve supercapacitors’ energy storage capability.

One way scientists can increase a substance’s capacitance is by making its surface nanoporous. A mere ten grams of a nanoporous material can achieve a surface area of up to 20,000 square meters . As a result, it was possible to analyze pore networks that had never been reached before. Using the updated Kirchhoff’s laws, the team simulated and predicted ion flow through extensive networks of nanopores at a large scale, leading to a better understanding of how ions move in complex systems, explained Gupta.
