Carbon nanotubes turn 3D-printed cement into supercapacitors

Original: Carbon nanotubes turn 3D-printed cement into energy-storing supercapacitors Carbon nanotubes turn 3D-printed cement into

Researchers have combined carbon nanotubes with 3D-printed cement to create materials that function as energy-storing supercapacitors. The advance could allow buildings and infrastructure made of cement to double as large-scale energy storage, addressing renewable power's intermittency problem. Engineering and physics communities are sharing and discussing the development.

Why now: New materials research suggesting ordinary cement structures could store renewable energy is generating interest.
