2. High Performance Supercapacitors Utilizing Electroactive
and Conductive Polymers (ECPs)
Supercapacitors:
Also known as Electric double-layer capacitors, (EDLCs), or
ultracapacitors, supercapacitors are electrochemical capacitors
that have high energy density in comparison to standard capacitors.
For example, a typical D-cell sized electrolytic capacitor will have a
capacitance in the range millifarads while supercapacitors are in the
farads. Supercapacitors aim to fill the gap between capacitors and
batteries.
Advantages over existing
technology:
• higher energy and power
• long cycle life
• lightweight
• cheaper to manufacture
• safer/easier to dispose Schematic of a supercapacitor
using Crosslinks ECPs
Supercapacitors from Crosslink
contain a ECP film which is,
• Metallically Conductive
(1000 S/cm)
• Solution Processable
• Mechanically and thermally
stable

Applications:
• Pulsed power: flash for cameras, cell phones and wireless
transmitters such as radio frequency ID tags)
• Energy Storage Systems: solar panels, wind turbines and
hybrid vehicles

3. Self-Detoxifying System
for Toxic Chemicals and Bacteria
Scope of Project:
To develop a printed fabric system that slowly releases hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2), a strong oxidant. This system will provide a
continuously regenerated supply of H2O2, in-situ, which can react
with and destroy both toxic chemicals and bacteria.
