Final Report Summary - 2DNANOCAPS (Next Generation of 2D-Nanomaterials: Enabling Supercapacitor Development)
2DNanoCaps used a multidisciplinary approach, where novel nanomaterials, existing knowledge on nano-scale processing and established expertise in device fabrication and testing have been brought together to focus on creating more efficient supercapacitor technologies. 2DNanoCaps exploited the use of liquid phase exfoliated two-dimensional nanomaterials such as transition metal oxides, layered metal chalcogenides and graphene as electrode materials.
The research developed was initially based on fundamental laboratory studies, recognising that this holds the key to achieving step-change in supercapacitors, but also included scaling-up and hybridisation as final objectives.
Towards the end a strong commercialisation aspect indeed took shape (PI licenced, patents filed and collaborations with major industrial partners been established).
2DNanoCaps focussed on the development of thin-electrode energy storage devices (supercapacitors) based on 2D Nanomaterials.
