Cellulose nanofibers (CNF), produced from wood pulp and other materials, are expected to be a new material that promotes carbon neutrality, but their application is currently limited to mechanical and chemical fields.
CNF energy storage is characterized by the fact that they do not use any electrolyte as a constituent material, but this study has demonstrated that this solid-state energy storage can be used over a wide temperature range of up to 150°C and, in contrast to conventional storage batteries, is water-resistant.
The results were published online in Scientific Reports on October 3, 2023.
