Researchers design charged 'power suits' for electricvehicles and spacecraft UCF
The suit is made of layered carbon composite material that works as an energy-storing supercapacitor-battery hybrid device due to its unique design at the nanoscale level.to spacecraft, airplanes, drones, portable devices and wearable tech.
The material, when used as a car body shell, could increase an electric car's range by 25%, meaning a 200 miles per charge vehicle could go an extra 50 miles and reduce its overall weight. These materials could be employed as frames for cube satellites, structures on off-world habitats, or even as part of futuristic eyewear, such as mixed and virtual reality headsets.
"This is a huge improvement over past approaches that have suffered from issues with toxic material, flammable organic electrolytes, low life cycles or poor performance," Thomas says. To construct the material, the researchers created positively and negatively charged carbon fiber layers, that when stacked and attached in an alternating pattern, create a strong, energy-storing composite.
Study co-author Kowsik Sambath Kumar, a doctoral student in Thomas' lab, developed a way to vertically align nanoscale graphene on carbon fiber electrodes.
