Engineers developed a new class of supercapacitor material using highly curved graphene networks.
The material, called multiscale reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO), achieves record energy and power densities.
Supercapacitors with M-rGO can hold energy comparable to lead-acid batteries and charge much faster.
The breakthrough could revolutionize electric transport, grid stability, and consumer electronics.
Monash University researchers published their findings in Nature Communications.
Commercialization efforts are underway through the spinout company Ionic Industries.
The technology is scalable and uses abundant Australian graphite resources.
The project received support from the Australian Research Council and the US Air Force.
