Nagaland University's Breakthrough in Flexible Supercapacitor Technology

Nagaland University has achieved a scientific milestone with the development of a flexible supercapacitor device that could revolutionize energy storage across sectors like wearable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems, officials have announced.

The breakthrough study, the first to compare tungsten, vanadium, and cobalt doping in molybdenum diselenide, goes beyond theoretical research by presenting a functional prototype. This highlights the device's practical viability for future applications in health monitoring, IoT gadgets, and enhanced vehicle regenerative systems.

The research aligns with India's goal of reducing battery imports by pioneering local energy solutions, thus contributing towards a sustainable 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. Collaborative efforts are underway to optimize the device for commercial viability, supported by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation and technical assistance from IISc Bangalore.
