This article is based on newsletter written by Pablo Blázquez, Frenetic power electronics engineer that explores a key player in power supply design, the Flyback Transformer. The Flyback Transformer, also known as a Flyback Converter, serves as a fundamental pillar in the domain of Power Electronics. This sophisticated Magnetic component facilitates energy transfer between input and output circuits, utilizing Magnetic fields to store and release energy. Unlike conventional transformers,...

Oxygen vacancies engineering is widely acknowledged as a potent strategy for augmenting the electrochemical performance of metal oxides in the realm of supercapacitors. Researchers from Jinan School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong University, China published their study Activated carbon induced oxygen vacancies-engineered nickel ferrite with enhanced conductivity for supercapacitor application. In recent research by Prof. Jianqiang Bi’s team, NiFe2O4−δ, characterized by a profusion of...
