The new power of the energy revolution about supercapacitor batteries

With the continuous development of technology, the field of energy storage has also undergone a tremendous evolution. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed the rise of lithium-ion batteries as the primary source of energy for mobile devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. However, lithium-ion batteries still have some limitations, such as long charging time, limited life and battery weight issues. Today, supercapacitor batteries are becoming a new force in the field of energy storage with their amazing energy storage capacity and fast charging speed, leading an energy revolution.

GTCAP has combined batteries and supercapacitor structures to create supercapacitor battery.

Supercapacitor batteries are used when pairing supercapacitor and battery technology in one device. In this type of energy storage, one of the carbon-based electrodes in a supercapacitor is replaced with a lithium-doped carbon electrode similar to LIB. This increases the operating voltage to 3.7V (where standard EDLCs are rated to 2.7V maximum) as well as the capacitance by nearly 15 times.

While standard EDLCs are typically discharged in under 60 seconds, supercapacitor batteries can go up to a few hours. They also have muh lower self-discharge and leakage current than EDLCs. All while still benefiting from the supercapacitor’s inherently high power density, high reliability and long cycle life.

This principle of operation allows supercapacitor batteries to have a number of unique properties, including:

1. High speed charging and discharging

Supercapacitor batteries are capable of charging and discharging at a much faster rate than conventional batteries. This means you can get more energy in a short amount of time without waiting for a long charging cycle. This is important for applications that require fast charging, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

2. Long service life

Supercapacitor batteries have a longer life span compared to lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries gradually lose capacity after multiple charges and discharges, while supercapacitor batteries have no significant loss after the same number of cycles of charging and discharging. This reduces the maintenance cost of the energy storage system.

3. High energy density

Supercapacitor batteries have excellent energy density, which means that they can store large amounts of electrical energy in a relatively small volume. This is particularly beneficial for space-constrained applications, such as mobile devices and aerospace technology.

2. Renewable energy systems

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind have unstable properties and require stable energy storage to ensure continuous power supply.Supercapacitor batteries can  rapidly store and release electrical energy, making them an ideal partner for renewable energy systems that help balance energy supply.

3. Industrial automation 

In the field of industrial automation, supercapacitor batteries can be used to store and release large amounts of electrical energy for use in robots, power tools, and other automation devices, improving their operational efficiency and reliability.

4. Medical equipment

Medical devices often require efficient energy storage to ensure stable performance.The high energy density and long lifetime of supercapacitor batteries make them an ideal energy choice for medical devices.
