Novel electrode materials

Advanced Electrode Materials for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Background

Electrochemical energy storage technologies, essential for powering portable devices and transportation, are hindered in their commercialization by high costs, durability issues, safety concerns, and material limitations.

The Advanced Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Health Applications research group led by Prof. Dhayalan Velauthapillai at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) has developed groundbreaking electrode materials for supercapacitors, offering superior energy and power densities, longevity, and scalability. Synthesized via an eco-friendly hydrothermal method, these materials demonstrate significant performance advantages over traditional alternatives.

· Technology: Novel quaternary transition metal oxides (CuXSnO4, where X = Ni, Co, Fe, Mn)

· Applications: fast-charging and high-capacity energy storage for electric vehicles; grid stabilization and rapid energy discharge for renewable energy systems; lightweight and durable power supplies for portable consumer electronics.

· Stage: Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3-4

· IP Status: Patent application filed (March 2024)

Key features

· High Performance: Energy density of 20–60 Wh/kg and power density of 20–100 kW/kg, surpassing current state-of-the-art supercapacitors.

· Eco-Friendly Design: Utilizes abundant and cost-effective materials, eliminating reliance on rare-earth elements.

· Scalability: Optimized synthesis methods enable large-scale production.

Market Potential

The global supercapacitor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12%, reaching $12.37 billion by 2032. This innovation is poised to disrupt the market, addressing key challenges such as high material costs and limited energy density, while aligning with sustainability goals.

Collaboration Opportunity

This innovation represents a unique opportunity to commercialize next-generation energy storage solutions with significant environmental and economic benefits.

We are seeking industrial partners to license this technology and integrate it into commercial supercapacitor products. Ideal partners include:

· Manufacturers of energy storage components

· Industry leaders in electric vehicles, renewable energy, or portable electronics
