Microsupercapacitors

Kazufumi Kobashi is a Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tokyo, Japan. Since 2009, Dr Kobashi has been developing the CNT microsupercapacitor technology; since 2017, he has focused on the characterization technology of nanocarbon-based, neat and composite materials in AIST, and applied research in CNT. Karolina Laszczyk is an Assistant Professor at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Wroclaw, Poland. Whilst working at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and at the Technology Research Association for Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (TASC) in Japan between 2011-2016, Dr Laszczyk worked on developing microsupercapacitor technology. For this work she was awarded the “12th IIjima Award for Young Scientists” by The Japanese Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Graphene Research Society, and the silver medal at The International Trade Fair Ideas Inventions New Products IENA in Nuremberg 2017.
