# This Microcapacitor Charges 100 Million Times Faster Than Lithium-ion Batteries

**[IEEE Spectrum](https://daily.dev/sources/ieeespectrum)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Tiny microcapacitors made of hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide can store 9 times more energy and provide 170 times more power in a given area. These microcapacitors can be made using the same materials and techniques as DRAM, and have potential applications in computing, medical devices, robots, and cell phones.
