ULTRACAPACITORS AS THE KEY TO
EFFICIENT POWER SOLUTIONS
Introduction - technology Develop symmetric double layers capacitors (utlracapacitors)
based on proprietary activated carbon material
Proprietary nanocoating processes aiming to reduce internal
resistance and consequently to raise the POWER
Different approaches to tune activated carbon to reach the
highest surface area with the right pore size distribution
Focusing on commercially available low cost raw materials
Improving cell design to reach the high energy available within
the high power loads

Value Proposition
ULTRACAPACITORS AS THE KEY TO
EFFICIENT POWER SOLUTIONS
Materials science: developing unique nanoporous carbon processes
to reach best properties of the materials. Focusing on large-scale
adoption with the low-cost and widely available raw materials.
Technological processing: developing special nanocoating
operation to obtain the lowest resistance of the ultracapacitor cell.
Allowing to use inexpensive Aluminum foils materials for current
collector/lead.
Electrical engineering: optimizing active and passive balancing
circuits to improve modules performance and to extend lifetime.
As a result, a significant cost reduction (down to $0.005-$0.01 per F
on mass-scale manufacturing) with the highest Power Density
available on the market.
