Indian scientists have developed a cutting-edge green energy material that could revolutionize how we store and use energy. A team from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, in collaboration with Aligarh Muslim University, has engineered a lanthanum-doped silver niobate (AgNbO©ý)—a novel material that dramatically enhances the performance of supercapacitors.   The innovation leverages the perovskite structure of silver niobate, which is both lead-free and environmentally safe. By introducing lanthanum ions into the crystal matrix, the scientists were able to reduce nanoparticle size, thereby increasing surface area…
