Abstract

A supercapacitor-like electronic battery exhibits a conventional electrochemical capacitor structure with a first nanocomposite electrode positioned within said conventional electrochemical capacitor structure. Said nanocomposite electrode shows nano-scale conductive particles dispersed in a electrolyte matrix, said nano-scale conductive particles being coated with a designed and functionalized organic or organometallic compound. A second nanocomposite electrode is positioned within said conventional electrochemical capacitor structure with similar properties. An electrolyte within said conventional electrochemical capacitor structure separates said first from said second nanocomposite electrode. Two current collectors in communication with said first and second nanocomposite electrode complete the electric scheme. A method for fabricating a capacitor includes forming conductive or semiconducting nanoparticles and reacting said nanoparticles with a first designed and functionalized organic or organometallic compound, said reaction forming an organic or organometallic shell surrounding each of said nanoparticles. Said treated nanoparticles are being dispersed into an electrolyte matrix to form a nanocomposite electrode.
