High-Performance TIMs: Beyond Traditional TIM Materials

With the ever-increasing need for heat dissipation, high-performance thermal interface materials (TIMs) with higher thermal conductivity and other properties are becoming essential. Driven by this trend, a number of high-performance TIMs are emerging. This article primarily introduces the advantages and drawbacks of advanced carbon-based TIMs. However, it is worth noting that many other TIMs offer superior performance. For a holistic view of the TIM industry, please refer to IDTechEx's research report, "Thermal Interface Materials 2026-2036: Technologies, Markets and Forecasts".

Short-Duration Energy Storage: The Niche for Supercapacitors

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that offer distinct properties when compared to batteries. Supercapacitors have higher power density and lower energy density than batteries. They also have a significantly larger cycle lifetime, in the tens of thousands, which enables them to undergo frequent charge-discharge cycles without degradation. This allows them to perform in applications where batteries are not appropriate. IDTechEx covers supercapacitors in detail in its recent report: "Supercapacitors 2026-2036: Technologies, Applications and Forecasts".
