High energy storage capacitor

By focusing on the integration of supercapacitors with lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, Africa New Energies has the unique opportunity to address the pressing challenges of battery charging times, lifespan, and stress during critical vehicle scenarios. This research not only holds the potential to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry in Africa but also aligns perfectly with the company's commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions that contribute to the region's economic growth and environmental preservation.

Mitigating battery limitations.

In tackling the integration of supercapacitors with lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, our approach was centered around optimizing energy storage and enhancing battery performance. Recognizing the limitations of batteries in terms of charging time and stress endurance, we aimed to mitigate these issues through the strategic combination of supercapacitors and batteries. This Hybrid Energy Systems approach aimed to leverage the rapid charging cycles and robust performance characteristics of supercapacitors to alleviate battery stress during acceleration, reversing, and regenerative braking scenarios.

Market evaluation.

We systematically evaluated market-available and lab-developed supercapacitors through consistent charge and discharge tests. This thorough assessment enabled us to pinpoint the Graphene Supercapacitor as the top choice for integration, thanks to its lower ESR, high power density, and exceptional energy density compared to alternatives.

Supercap for the win.

Our investigation conclusively identified the Graphene Supercapacitor as the optimal solution for enhancing energy storage integration. Its impressive attributes align perfectly with our goal of improving battery performance, reducing charging times, and advancing sustainable transportation solutions for electric vehicles.
