Imagine a device that combines the fast charging of a capacitor with the long-lasting power of a battery. It uses a special mix of carbon and metal materials to store more energy without relying on rare, expensive minerals. This allows gadgets and vehicles to power up quickly and last longer on a single charge.
Current electric double-layer capacitors have energy densities too low to meet the demands of modern electrification. This limits the runtime and efficiency of electric vehicles and portable consumer electronics.
High energy density asymmetric hybrid supercapacitors, including new electrode materials, ionic liquid electrolytes, and an innovative management system.
If you are an electric scooter manufacturer dealing with short battery life and slow charging for last-mile delivery — this project developed hybrid supercapacitor modules that increase energy density and charging speed. This allows for more efficient urban transport solutions.
If you are a leisure brand dealing with bulky batteries in heated clothing — this project developed high energy density components for hand warming gloves. This enables a slimmer, more comfortable design for the end user.
If you are a supplier dealing with the high cost and environmental impact of critical raw materials in energy storage — this project developed synthetic approaches that eliminate critical raw materials. This reduces supply chain risk and environmental footprint.
The project employs cost-effective synthetic approaches and eliminates the use of critical raw materials to ensure the components are cheaper and more sustainable to produce.
Based on available project data, the project is developing cells and modules for demonstration in scooters and gloves, with a business case and exploitation strategy to be finalized by the end of the project.
The project is developing a business case and exploitation strategy to roadmap the future commercialization of the HEDAsupercap technology.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, suggesting commercial roadmaps will be ready by the end of 2026.
The project includes the development of an innovative management system to integrate the supercapacitor cells and modules into end-use products like electric scooters.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring a 38% industry ratio with 3 leading companies from the automotive, energy, and engineering sectors. With 8 partners across 6 countries, including 2 SMEs and 3 research organizations, the group combines academic material science with industrial application capabilities to ensure rapid market adoption.
