An extraordinary new material based on nanocellulose and a conductive polymer has achieved four new World Records for its ability to store energy and is a development that could be of major interest to the nonwovens industry.
A single millimetres-thick, 15 centimetre sheet of the new Power Paper, developed at Linköping University’s Laboratory of Organic Electronics in Sweden, can store as much as 1 F – similar to the supercapacitors currently on the market. The material can also be recharged hundreds of times and each charge only takes a few seconds.
In addition, it has:
- The highest measured current in an organic conductor of 1 A (Ampere).
- The highest capacity to simultaneously conduct ions and electrons.
- The highest transconductance in a transistor, of 1 S (Siemens).
