Plastic bottles can be recycled into energy-storing supercapacitors

Supercapacitors are charged like a battery but release their energy more rapidly – and some of their components can now be built from old plastic bottles

We throw away billions of plastic bottles each year, but they could be turned into useful electronics components instead

Plastic bottles can be upcycled into parts for supercapacitors, which store energy like batteries but release it much faster.
