The rGO modification technique that involves the use of organic molecules, derivatives of hypervalent iodine, enabled acquiring a material that is capable of storing 1.7 times more electrical energy. The study results were published in the academic journal
Electrochimica Acta.
A supercapacitor is an electrochemical device used for storing and discharging electric charge. In contrast to batteries, supercapacitors store and discharge energy multiple times faster and do not include lithium.

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with colleagues from the University of Lille (Lille, France) synthetized a new material based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for supercapacitors, energy storage devices. The rGO modification method with the use of organic molecules, derivatives of hypervalent iodine, allowed obtaining a material that stores 1.7 times more electrical energy. The research findings are published in
Electrochimica Acta academic journal (IF: 6,215; Q1).

A supercapacitor is an electrochemical device for storage and release of electric charge. Unlike batteries, they store and release energy several times faster and do not contain lithium.
