Energy Storage

Due to its remarkable attributes of exceptionally high surface area and high purity, activated carbon has become the favored choice for electrode material in ultra capacitors, asymmetric batteries, and various advanced battery systems. These qualities directly contribute to the superior performance exhibited by activated carbon in such applications.

Ultracapacitors are energy storage devices known for their high capacitance. The storage mechanism in ultracapacitors is primarily physical, involving the storage of electrons on the surface of activated carbon, enabling rapid charging and discharging. The quantity of charge is directly linked to the electron storage capacity of the carbon surface, emphasizing the importance of utilizing high surface area activated carbon. To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to carefully select raw materials and implement additional processing to mitigate any detrimental effects of impurities on the carbon, which can lead to irreversible capacitance loss.

Advanced batteries : In the realm of advanced batteries, the increasing demands for energy storage have necessitated the development of various battery chemistries. These innovations aim to deliver higher energy densities, enhanced power output, and improved cyclability.
