Scientists are exploring the use of neodymium gallium oxides in supercapacitors. These materials, known as Nd3Ga5O12 and Nd3GaO6, are created through a simple and eco-friendly method called the citrate-gel-matrix approach. What makes these materials special is their high specific capacitance and str
