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

Green Car Congress

Nanotune Technologies’ CEO Kuang Tsei Huang has demonstrated supercapacitors with 35 Wh/kg, saying that 500 Wh/kg may be achievable, 2-4 times the energy density of the best Li-ion batteries, IDTech notes. Yunasko and others have demonstrated 35 Wh/kg, with the intermediate supercabatteries, matching lead-acid and NiCd batteries.

Roskill: Nickel sulfate to be the key growth area of nickel demand over the next decade; driven by EVs

Green Car Congress

A couple of years ago, the market for nickel sulfate was largely driven by the plating industry and non-Li-ion battery applications such as NiMH and NiCd batteries with stagnated y-o-y growth. Over the next decade, Roskill forecasts an explosive growth rate for the consumption of nickel in batteries (mostly in the form of nickel sulfate).

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.
