Ultracapacitors - The New Wave. Fresh Ideas, Advanced Technologies, New Players (Energy Storage Innovations Europe 2018)

Batteries have their limits and this we know not only since electrification of mobility has finally gained some traction. To team up with ultracapacitors might open the Gordian Knot and increase the battery life time while reducing CO2 and overcoming looming raw materials limitations. Different design concepts are needed leading to a bigger wave than the first one for Ultracapacitors.
