from gasoline-powered to electric vehicles, but to providing effective energy storage solutions for wind power, solar energy and modern grid systems,” says Bor Jang, co-founder of Nanotek and Angstron. “The challenge has been the inability of conventional carbon nano materials to store a sufficient amount of energy per unit mass. Our NGP material has solved this low energy density problem by demonstrating an energy density that exceeds that of commercially available supercapacitors and is comparable with
nickel metal hydride batteries.” Nanotek will launch a supercapacitor prototyping facility in Dayton, Ohio as the first step toward commercialization. Angstron will establish a pilot-scale production line for the manufacture of supercapacitor-grade NGPs.
