The new supercapacitor is expected to make unmanned aerial vehicles "the body is the battery".

A new type of carbon fiber structural supercapacitor developed by Professor Zhu Kongjun's team at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is expected to enable unmanned aerial vehicles to have "the body as the battery", providing a completely new solution to the dilemma of balancing endurance and payload capacity of drones. Recently, the related research results were published in the journal "Advanced Materials".
