High-Efficiency Material for Next-Gen Energy Storage:
Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru & Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have developed a lanthanum-doped silver niobate-based energy storage material, which has enhanced the performance of supercapacitors. Lanthanum-Doped Silver Niobate Energy Storage Material is an advanced nanostructured compound made by doping silver niobate (AgNbO₃), a lead-free and eco-friendly perovskite material, with lanthanum, a rare-earth element.This doping has reduced nanoparticle size, increasing the surface area for energy storage, and improved electrical conductivity for faster charge-discharge cycles. It also ensured excellent energy retention (118%) with no energy loss during use (100% coulombic efficiency). It is also environmentally friendly, being lead-free and suitable for green energy applications.
