Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be recharged for virtually unlimited times, but the amount of energy they store is limited. Their working principle is not based on chemical reactions, but rather on transferring surface charges.

The new material is made up of molecules of peptides that “grow” to resemble small forests of grass. And as if the coincidence wouldn’t had been enough, supercapacitors could also benefit from this nano-coating.
