Abstract

Society has experienced a global surge and reliance on mobile phones, laptops, portable medical treatment, electric vehicles to power our daily lives. The available electrochemical energy storage systems (batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells) either provide high energy density or high-power density but not both together. We are introducing a novel solid state supercapattery, a smart hybrid device that can be used for smart and sustainable e-transportation (electric/hybrid vehicles). Supercapattery offer higher energy density than supercapacitors and higher power capability than batteries. Solid state supercapattery is expected to demonstrate outstanding advantages in tackling the safety shortcomings of traditional electrochemical devices while meeting high demands on performances. The advancement in manufacturing techniques like 3D printing has enabled the assembly of solid-state electrochemical devices in a more complex geometric configuration. We focus on synthesis and formulation of new types of electrolytes and electrodes to fabricate and optimize solid-state Supercapatterys for electric/hybrid vehicles. A novel complete solid state Supercapattery with economic feasibility is a new breakthrough in electric transportation industry.
