The highly conductive foam was tested as an electrode in lithium
ion capacitors and found to be mechanically and chemically stable.
The only «new» energy thing I am aware of is my recent guest post speculation on Fisker Nanotech and a lithium
ion capacitor.
Not exact matches
Detailed tests showed the new batteries hold five times as much energy as conventional quick - discharging devices called
capacitors do, and they deliver that power 10 times as quickly as conventional lithium
ion batteries can.
Traditional
capacitors store energy and release it quickly (as in a camera flash), unlike common lithium -
ion batteries that take a long time to charge and release their energy as needed.
Motor Trend suggests the Mini hybrid could be one of the first vehicles to utilize super
capacitors — the highly - efficient energy storage modules pack a higher density than lithium -
ion batteries and appear to be the next big advancement in electric vehicles.
