 A new type of battery was developed by researchers from China and Australia. It uses a special type of material called nickel-iron layered double hydroxides, NIFA LDHs, which are interconnected nanowires. These nanowires have a high surface area and allow electrons to move quickly, resulting in a much higher capacity than traditional batteries. The researchers were able to create a hybrid supercapacitor using this material as the cathode, achieving a high capacitance of 56.2 Farad per kilogram theft slash kg, with an energy density of 20wh slash kg. This new technology could be used to develop high-performance supercapacitors and open up new routes for the design and development of efficient electrode materials and various energy storage fields.
