Project Abstract
The rapid increase in demand for powered connected devices poses environmental concerns both in terms of high energy production requirements and end-of-life disposal. Implementation of eco-friendly energy storage systems and self-powered solutions is crucial to ensure future sustainability of such devices. Accordingly, SUPER-GREEN proposes the development of novel self-powered and eco-friendly supercapacitors whereby electrode materials will be fabricated by direct laser writing of biopolymers and eco-friendly materials will be used as electrolytes. The capabilities of developed structures will be assessed through demonstration of supercapacitive behaviour, towards realisation of next generation all natural green supercapacitor devices.
