Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Ioxus says that the power density of its 100F carbon-carbon ultracapacitor solutions is 2x over that of competitive comparable 100F cells. 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. Ioxus makes carbon-carbon ultracapacitors—i.e.,
