Brief Project Summary:

We plan to utilize soybean hulls/stover for electronic applications, particularly for battery and supercapaciter industry. Soybean hulls/stover will be converted to high surface area carbon for energy storage applications.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Our technology could be more cost-effective and thus significantly attractive for commercialization if we could (1) reduce the time and thus cost of preparation of soybean-derived carbons, and (2) increase the energy and power densities to meet current energy and power densities of Lithium-ion batteries/supercapacitors. Energy and power densities are directly related to the potential window a device could deliver/operate.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
