Skeleton Technologies leads and outperforms a study of ultracapacitors commissioned by the Office of Naval Research Ultracapacitor Concept the Tesla Maxwell Technologies subsidiary. The lead of Skeletons Skelcaps over the competition is based on the patented "Curved Graphene" technology.
The ultracapacitor outperforms comparative values for energy density and service life, as the study by Dr. David Wetz and his team at the University of Texas at Arlington. The further development of the energy storage Technology enables smaller, more powerful energy systems to be built. The Saxon high-tech company clearly beats its competitor Ioxus Inc., also based in the USA, and took first place in the test result.
Ultracapacitor for micro networks and transportation
Ultracapacitors win because of their high power density in importance and are therefore of increasing importance for various applications. B. Use cases that require high transient performance such as micro-networks and transport. Many industries such as the automotive industry see advantages in a hybrid solution that uses Li-ionBatteries combined with ultracapacitors. Elon Musk recognized the great potential of ultracaps and took over the ultracap manufacturer Maxwell Technologies (San Diego, CA) in February.
Hybrid super capacitor for power supply and storage
In an extensive study by the Office of Naval Research The products of the individual manufacturers were put through their paces on the properties of ultracapacitors and lithium-ion capacitors in the area of transient load applications. Skelcap far outperformed all cells tested in this experiment. At more than 10 kW / kg, its power density is higher than that of the other cells in the test and the heat development is significantly lower, which has a positive effect on its service life.
Curved graphene instead of activated carbon
“The superior results from Skeleton are most likely due to the use of the Curved graphene instead of the activated carbon used by the other manufacturers. These advances in energy storage technology allow energy systems to be built that can deliver more energy to transient loads and allow existing systems to be scaled down, ”the authors explain.
