Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Smaller Ioxus cells offer a power density of 22-28 kW/kg, and larger cells offer densities of 12-15 kW/kg, said Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus. Two lithium-ion battery companies are working with us now. Energy densities for the cells are typically around 2-4 Wh/kg. Ioxus makes carbon-carbon ultracapacitors—i.e.,
