OptiXtal

OptiXtal's technology represents a significant extension of Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC)technology. EDLCs are also known as ultracapacitors or supercapacitors. Whereas batteries are good for energy storage, they tend not to be good for power storage. Supercapacitors excel at power storage. They have the ability to charge and discharge much faster than batteries. They have other advantages over batteries as well. Unlike batteries, supercapacitors are not sensitive to either high or low extremes of temperature, thus enabling them to perform efficiently in a much wider range of environments. And while the useful life of batteries is measured in hundreds, or at best a few thousands, of power cycles, the life of supercapacitors is measured in the hundreds of thousands or millions of cycles.

OptiXtal's patented technology further extends the advantages of supercapacitors in three ways. First, most supercapacitors on the market today have an inflexible, cylindrical form factor similar to batteries. OptiXtal's SuperXcaps come in thin, flexible foil packaging. Their rectangular form factor allows for more efficient packaging with fewer voids. And our thin form factor allows SuperXcaps to be easily stacked, either in series or parallel, to meet a wide variety of power requirements. Secondly, our technology provides greater power density than competitive offerings, in terms of both mass and volume, including those with form factors similar to ours, such as those of Cap-XX. Finally, the extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of our supercaps enables them to hold a charge longer than competitive offerings.
