Cement-Nanocarbon Composites: Structural Supercapacitors for Autonomous Buildings (CEMCAP)”. The CEMCAP project aims at transforming cement into a multifunctional material by implementing electrical energy storage and heat insulation functionalities. The ultimate goal is energetically autonomous buildings by turning concrete elements of a building into structural super-capacitor.
This project is supported financially by the CNRS Momentum research grant
