High Voltage Redox Electrolytes for Enhanced Electrochemical Capacitor Performance and Reduced Self-Discharge
Supercapacitors and batteries are the two leading forms of electrochemical energy storage. Both have unique advantages and can be applied to various applications. Supercapacitors can be charged quickly resulting in very high power density and can cycle hundreds of thousands of times with lifetimes measured in decades. However, these devices suffer from...

Method of Growing Germanium Crystals
This new method uses a quartz shield to isolate the germanium that would otherwise be contaminated by the stainless steel chamber, insulation materials, or the graphite crucible. Doctors Mei and Wang also determined that use of a load scale can control the crystal diameter and ensure that all melted germanium is used in crystal production and thus removed...
