AI control-activated carbon-ZnO/CuO conductive polymer structural super-capacitor for EV

In the automobile industry, nanocomposite technologies reduce weight and emissions, increasing vehicle energy efficiency. The multipurpose structure of the electric vehicle, known as the structural supercapacitor, is 35% lighter than steel and can produce electricity by trapping solar heat. This work developed an electric double-layer structural supercapacitor (EDLC) using aqueous sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) as the electrolyte, carbon fibre reinforcement conductive polymer (CFRP) and activated carbon zinc oxide (AC ZnO) as the n-type and copper oxide (CuO) as the p-type. Different weight percentages (wt.%) of AC ZnO/CuO capacitors have been constructed and tested at 32°C solar temperatures. Compared to other wt% AC EDLC, the CFRP-EDLC with 6 wt% of AC has the maximum performance, with a capacity of 18.56μF/cm2. In comparison to other formulations, the 70 wt% of epoxy, 6 wt.% weight AC and 30 wt% ZnO/CuO EDLC demonstrated superior charging in a shorter amount of time and discharging in a longer amount of time. If the solar trapping heat rises beyond 32°, an AI power management system (AIPMS) has been built into the EDLC EV body panel to prevent any mishaps. Depending on the current EDLC signal, AIPMS indicates EDLC operation.
