The Australian National University released a message on the 1st that scientists of the university have invented a kind of insulating material that can store more electric energy and consume less, and can be used to manufacture “super capacitors†in renewable energy, electric vehicles, national defense and aerospace, etc. The field has high application value. Insulation is the main material for making capacitors. The newly invented material is rutile (titanium dioxide) with a ruthenium-indium composite coating. Its performance is much better than that of currently used materials. It can store more electric energy, consume less, and can be at a temperature between minus 190 degrees Celsius and 180 degrees Celsius. Stable work under conditions. Liu Yu, an associate professor at the Australian National University who participated in the study, said that the new materials have huge potential for application. After further development, they can be used to create "super capacitors" and break through existing energy storage limits for renewable energy, electric vehicles, defense and aerospace technology. Innovation opens the door. Prof. Ray Withers, who is involved in the study, said that the new materials have positive significance for wind power and solar power generation. The current generated by wind generators and solar panels varies with natural conditions, but the integration into the grid requires a stable current, otherwise it will cause damage to the power grid, so there must be a large capacitor to store electricity, keep the current output balanced, the new material precisely Meet this requirement. Relevant papers were published in the latest issue of Britain's "Nature-Materials" magazine. Liu Ye said that after five years of research and development of new materials, this material is not harmful to the environment, non-toxic, and rich in sources. (Reporter Xu Haijing)
