Besides its ability to store energy in the form of supercapacitors, the same kind of concrete mixture can be used as a heating system, by simply applying electricity to the carbon-laced concrete. Ulm sees this as "a new way of looking toward the future of concrete as part of the energy transition."
While supercapacitors can store a much greater charge in coulombs per volt (farads) than normal capacitors, their breakdown voltage is generally in the single digits. Additionally, while they can release current very fast when compared to batteries, current flow is much slower than normal capacitors.
Supercapacitor Supercapacitor is an electrochemical capacitor that has high energy density and better performance efficiency as compared to the common capacitor, the reason why it has the prefix ''super ''attached to it. It stores and releases energy by reversible desorption and adsorption of ions at the electrode-electrolyte interface.
