New innovation may help EV batteries last significantly longer

A new, unexpected EV innovation could soon completely revolutionize how we create batteries used in electric vehicles. The discovery was completely accidental, but it could allow for capacitors with 19 times the energy density of current options. The breakthrough comes in the form of a new material structure that could allow capacitors in electric vehicles or devices to store energy for even longer.

Essentially, they offer a way for devices, or electric vehicles, to get a burst of energy beyond the battery. This is useful in situations like taking a photo using the flash in a smartphone. These capacitors are most often made up of materials that are naturally polarized. And then, when you add voltage, the polarization is reversed. This remains within the capacitor even when the power is removed, allowing the capacitor to use that burst of energy later on. However, it loses power over time.
