If carried out correctly, potential longevity setbacks due to redox reactionsĬan be avoided. The synergistic implementation of redox-active elements can greatly enhance performance. Although the energy density is still one order of magnitude smaller than lithium-ion batteries, Nano-scale on nanostructured carbon electrodes.ĮDLCs are an emerging technology for electrical energy storage due to their reliabilityĪs well as their high power density (significantly higher than batteries). The energy density of electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLC, also known as supercapacitors) by inserting metal oxides or nitrides at the Research Topics of CREATe-Network: The research objectives of CREATe-Network are distributed in the following Moreover, workshops will be organized in order to exchange experience, knowledge and to discuss further common activities. The total budget of the project is 640.000 €. Their design, processing and characterization will cater to resource-efficient applications and environmentally friendly technologies, in particular energy storage, bearings, electrical contacts, and cutting tools.Ħ5 exchanges with the participation of 35 scientists with different levels of experience (from PhD students to professors) will be carried out within the project. The combined expertise of academic and industrial partners will explore novel composite materials with superior properties and performance.
The aim of CREATe-Network is to provide a platform for international and intersectoral collaboration between different academic and non academic institutions in Europe, Latin America, USA and South Africa in the multidisciplinary field of advanced composite materials.
