IDTechEx sees improving supercapacitors gaining market share against Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Yunasko and others have demonstrated 35 Wh/kg, with the intermediate supercabatteries, matching lead-acid and NiCd batteries. They are safer and have ten times the power density. Maxwell Technologies expects tripling current energy density with pure supercapacitors. Graphene supercapacitor developers target 200 Wh/kg.

Alstom to supply two H3 hybrid shunting locomotives for Audi

Green Car Congress

The powertrain consists of a 350 kW diesel generator and a 350 kW NiCd battery. The benefits of our newly developed shunting locomotive platform are multiple: the H3 is environmentally friendly, compact and powerful in terms of tractive force on starting. The diesel generator meets the requirements of exhaust gas standard stage IIIB1.

Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

Aza-CMPs exhibit large capacitance, high power and energy densities (approaching those of current-generation Li-ion batteries), and enable repetitive energy storage and power supply with an excellent cycle life. Ultimately, these structural features work co-operatively, leading to exceptional energy storage and power supply capacities.
