Description
With extreme power capabilities, life-times and efficiencies the supercapacitor seems tailored to energy
storage in hybrid applications. Unfortunately the low gravimetric and volumetric energy density stifles their
adoption and results in the supercapacitor market being just 5% of the lithium battery market. Through a
Innovate funded Technical Feasibility study MAST Carbon Intl. looks to have developed a process to drastically
increase this energy density, allowing the supercapacitor to now compete on volume, weight and ultimately
cost, when all requirements of the hybrid vehicle are reviewed in combination. By removing the current bottle
neck the current energy storage systems bring, the new supercapacitor has the capability of accelerating hybrid
car adoption, paving the way to improved environmental credentials all whilst offering a cost saving to both the
consumer and to the UK in general. As it stands the UK has little involvement in both the $1bn supercapacitor
market and the $20bn lithium ion battery market. Successful development of this technology will offer a
superior product in both categories and will accelerate peripheral R&D in numerous areas.
