UC Riverside (UCR) engineers have developed a way to recycle PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic waste, such as soda or water bottles, into a nanomaterial useful for energy storage. Although they don’t store as much energy as lithium-ion batteries, these supercapacitors can charge much faster—a good option for many applications.
