Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Typical ultracapacitors are characterized by high power density compared to batteries (but poor energy density), as well as quick charge and discharge. Ioxus is also interested in working with battery companies on integrated solutions. Two lithium-ion battery companies are working with us now. Earlier post.).
