Researchers at Nagaland University reportedly have developed a biodegradable gelatin-based hydrogel membrane electrolyte that could offer a safer, flexible alternative to conventional electrolytes used in supercapacitors.

Supercapacitors are fast-charging, high-output energy storage devices used in everything from electric vehicles to emergency medical equipment.

As per the official statement, the traditional energy storage systems often use liquid electrolytes that can leak, corrode components, and cause environmental damage.

To address these challenges, the NU research team created the material described as a “KI-doped glyoxal-crosslinked gelatin hydrogel membrane electrolyte” (GNHME) combines gelatin, a naturally biodegradable protein, with glyoxal, a crosslinking agent that enhances
