Abstract

Energy production from renewable sources requires efficient storage systems to address imbalances between supply and demand. This project aims to develop cost-effective supercapacitors using composite electrodes derived from industrial by-products. Mineral binders, such as geopolymers or Alkali Activated Materials (AAM), made conductive by dispersing carbon black, are being studied for energy storage or heat generation applications. Based on a recently filed patent, we propose a detailed study of these conductive composites. Their performance will be evaluated depending on formulation and shaping parameters. Additionally, the porous network and the dispersion of conductive charges in the material will be thoroughly characterized. Finally, material shaping tests will be conducted, and supercapacitors will be assembled to study the impact of the process (3D printing) and geometries.
