GERMI develops biodegradable paper supercapacitor from seaweed  

The researchers deposited reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires over seaweed cellulose to make the anode material for the supercapacitor. The device exhibited a greater energy density of 5.21 Wh/kg, a series resistance of 2.16 ohms, and no air degradation even after 5,000 cycles.  

Rapid shift to solar energy is key to enhancing MSME productivity and exports

The biggest incentive in pushing the rooftop solar projects in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is that it will bring a sizable part of India’s manufacturing under the green protocols. Additionally, it offers the micro-enterprises, which are jointly situated in the industrial clusters, an opportunity to unlock value by making use of their rooftops and vacant spaces for harnessing clean energy.
