Skeleton, an expert on supercapacitors from Estonia? Technologies announced that together with KIT, Germany, it is developing a new breakthrough graphene battery called SuperBattery.
SuperBattery will use Skeleton's patent to bend graphene carbon material, which can achieve a charging time of only 15 seconds and a charging life of several hundred thousand times.
like other supercapacitors, the energy density of this supercapacitor is not enough to replace lithium-ion batteries, but it is better than lead-acid batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries, reaching about 6Wh/kg.
"Super battery?" The key differentiation technology is Skyne's patented bent graphene carbon material, which enables the high power and long life of supercapacitors to be applied to graphene batteries. Supercapacitors are increasingly becoming an ideal complementary technology for lithium-ion batteries. Tesla acquired the supercapacitor manufacturer Maxwell? Technologies, which hopes to improve the batteries used in Tesla electric vehicles, also shows this point. "
Although the energy density is several times lower than that of a typical electric vehicle battery, the new super battery may be very suitable for all types of hybrid vehicles (traditional hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles). It can also be used as a supplement to the main traction battery of all-electric vehicles, and can be charged with high power under the condition of acceleration or strong charging. Theoretically, it can prolong the battery life and reduce the cooling demand of the battery pack.
Skeleton said that an automobile OEM has been very interested in SuperBattery technology.
"SuperBattery "has attracted extensive attention in the fields of automobiles and transportation. Recently, Skeleton? Technologies signed a letter of intent of 1 billion euros with a leading automobile OEM to bring the technology to market.
