We at Gujarat Vitality Analysis and Administration Institute (GERMI), made thinnest, mild weight, biodegradable, quickest absolutely charging (inside 10 seconds), excessive tensile energy and efficiency in addition to price efficient paper based mostly supercapacitor which was constituted of seaweed (marine macroalgae). Lately, this work additionally been printed in peer reviewed journal BioNanoSciecne (a springer publication) and efficiently patented. A supercapacitor is an electrochemical cost storage system which have quick charging/discharging cycle, excessive energy density and longer lifecycle. It may be used digital, reminiscence back-up system, air-bags, heavy machines, electrical autos and many others. so it would change into an enormous market on this many years.
The main scientist Dr. Priyank Bhutiya and Dr. Syed Zaheer Hassan who’re marine biopolymer scientist who had extracted cellulose nanofibers from seaweed and rGO-ZnO nanowire have been grown over seaweed cellulose nanofibers to get anodic paper supercapacitor. Inexperienced seaweed Cheatomorpha antennia was collected from Porbandar, Gujarat space. The method of creating paper supercapacitor was quite simple and handcrafted. It must be used as anode materials in system. Dr. Brijesh Tripathi from PDEU had examined this system until 6000 cycle for efficiency and noticed similar efficiency in any respect cycles with none degradation. The power density of this system was 9.5 Wh/Kg in addition to collection resistance was 120 Ω. This paper based mostly supercapacitor system was examined in varied analytical strategies. Dr. Abdul Rasheed, Dr. P.L.S. Rao and Rahul Kapadiya from GERMI who had co-othered additionally concerned on this analysis.
This research finds that the marine cellulose based mostly anode materials helps within the improvement of the thinnest paper supercapacitor utilized in virtually all good digital units and in addition generate financial system for coastal communities for seaweed cultivation to manufacturing of paper supercapacitor from seaweed.
