polymers can be successfully employed for stable, high-performance supercapacitors.
combination of polymers and redox-electrolytes yield supercapacitors that are inherently stable. The technology shows a stable performance over 50,000 charge-discharge cycles, which is more than 10 times better than ever reported.
low-cost supercapacitors, as they are extremely cheap, easy to process, and highly conductive. Speaker Biography (David Vonlanthen)Dr. David Vonlanthen is currently working with Nobel laureate Dr. Alan Heeger and initiated research on inexpensive supercapacitors at UCSB. Also, he is scientific advisor for BioSolar Inc. He is an author of numerous high impact and peer-reviewed publications in the field of energy research. Dr. Vonlanthen is an expert in polymer electrodes, as well as organic, ionic and porous systems for energy applications, and is an inventor on several international patents. He was working with multiple industry (IBM, Osram, Siemens, VTT,) and university partners before he joined UCSB. Dr. Vonlanthen holds a Ph.D. and Master in Chemistry from the University of Basel, Switzerland, where he was working with the Vice President of the University on novel ionic semiconductor materials for solution-processable OLEDs. During this period, he was also spokesman of the University for a large, international academic-industry Research Consortium. Dr. Vonlanthen was recently awarded with multiple research grants from BioSolar Inc., the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) and from the Fred and Linda R. Wudl Chair for his outstanding work on inexpensive supercapacitors. Company Profile (University of California, Santa Barbara)![]() UCSB is a top-tier research university, whose faculty has received five Nobel Prizes for work in the areas of chemistry, physics and economics. The campus is home to 11 national institutes and centers. Among them : the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Materials Research Laboratory and the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies. UCSB is also home to the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and the California NanoSystems Institute as well as the Institute for Energy Efficiency. |
