The British company has developed a new type of electrolyte, so that the super capacitor produced will have a longer life and high energy density, which is expected to replace the battery. Researchers from Augmented Optics and the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom have teamed up with the University of Bristol to develop a new crosslinked gel-matrix polymer electrolyte based on crosslinked colloidal polymers. Up to 100 times more capacitance than conventional electrolytes. And the colloidal electrolyte is compatible with conventional electrodes used in current battery types.
Augmented Optics has established a subsidiary company, Super Capacitor Materials, which is responsible for commercializing this new type of material. They believe that the use of this new type of electrolyte in combination with existing electrode materials will allow the production of new supercapacitors that will store more energy than existing battery systems.
Supercapacitors have a longer life cycle and higher energy density; when they are used for a long period of time, the supercapacitors are degraded. The supercapacitor can maintain nearly the same amount of electricity after thousands of charge and discharge cycles. However, current supercapacitors are limited to lower energy density, and they are still inferior to lithium-ion batteries in terms of power.
Interestingly, the technical principles used by Augmented Optics come from the manufacturing process of soft contact lenses made by Dr. Donald Highgate (Surrey graduate, currently at Augmented Optics) and his graduate students 40 years ago. Development.
Tests on new polymer materials show that ultra-high energy density supercapacitors have the opportunity to be produced in the near future. We are actively seeking commercial cooperation to jointly develop and support this new material, and to create ultra-high energy density energy storage equipment using this material.
