Novel ultrafast battery based on Graphene charges in 15 seconds
The ideal solution for EVs
Not only can the SuperBattery charge at lightning-fast speeds, it also has charging cycles that count in hundreds of thousands.
But what truly makes the battery stand out is the fact that it's made up of Curved Graphene carbon material, which is patented to Skeleton Technologies. This enables strong power and long-lasting ultracapacitors to be linked with graphene batteries.
As per Skeleton Technologies' statement, ultracapacitors are becoming more and more commonly combined with lithium-ion batteries.
"The SuperBattery is a game-changer for the automotive industry. Together with Li-ion batteries, they have it all: high energy and power density, long lifetime, and 15-second charging time," said Taavi Madiberk, Skeleton Technologies' CEO.
The two teams are thrilled to be collaborating on the project, as a KIT director at the Helmholtz-Institute Ulm, and research unit leader Maximilian Fichtner said "We see Skeleton as a perfect match which fits for our purpose. Skeleton is both flexible and big enough to develop a new process, transfer our knowledge into a product, and bring it to the market."
The super fast recharger is already garnering a fair amount of attention and the collaborators have already potentially confirmed a €1 billion contract with a well-known automotive company, which will see the battery get onto the market, per ECI (in French).
