What Comes Next With Supercapacitors?

Compiled by Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx

• In 2012, lithium-ion batteries were selling well with only 100Wh/kg. Now there are two routes to that energy density with inherently safer, longer-lived, less toxic supercapacitor variants.
• Understand pseudocapacitance with non-flammable aqueous electrolytes and boosting hybrid supercapacitors with carbon nanotubes and lithium titanate nanoparticles. Both should give better cycle life and other benefits: where, when? Will we get the no-battery urban bus charging its supercapacitors in minutes as the researchers claim? When?
• Status of work at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Nippon Chemi-Con, Kinetic Laboratories, Imperial College London etc.

Size Reduction and Elimination of Batteries

Compiled by Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx

• Why use less or no lithium-ion batteries
• Why changing anode, cathode, electrolyte and format while scaling up output tenfold breaks a basic rule of manufacturing.
• Top up charging options: roadside, intermittent catenary, gantry, rail-in-road, solar bodywork, wind turbine on vehicle.
• A look at real life case study examples
