On the 12th of February 2026, our partner Apurba Ray, Research Scientist at German Aerospace Center (DLR), gave a short talk on gel polymer electrolyte for supercapacitors in the Frontiers in Batteries and Electrochemistry webinar, led by the Topic Editors of the launched article collection: “Supercapacitors and Hybrid Electrochemical Cells: Advanced Materials, Architectures, and Emerging Applications.”
Apurba is one of the Topic Editors of above-mentioned article collection, and represented GRAPHERGIA in a webinar to discover emerging materials, next-generation electrolytes, and innovative device architectures shaping the future of supercapacitors and hybrid electrochemical cells. There were about 35 online participants in the session, and most of them were researchers (PhD, postdoc, professors, etc.) from Germany, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, Greece, and India, among many other countries.
“It was a profound honor to share an overview of our current research in GRAPHERGIA through this webinar. I am confident that platforms like this serve as a powerful catalyst for young researchers worldwide, and I eagerly anticipate more opportunities for such global knowledge-sharing in the future.” – Apurba Ray, Research Scientist at German Aerospace Center (DLR).
