The supercapacitor is here! With it, your electric car can run even further

      Nowadays, rechargeable cars are gradually entering our lives, and the durability of the battery is related to the range of the car. The reporter learned from Zhongke Supercapacitors Technology Co., Ltd. located in Jinfeng Park, Chongqing High tech Zone that the company's independently developed double-layer supercapacitor product has been taken offline.

       It is understood that supercapacitors refer to a new type of energy storage device that is between traditional capacitors and secondary batteries. They have the characteristics of fast charging and discharging speed and high energy storage density, and can complete charging and discharging in seconds and achieve charging and discharging cycles of over a million times.

       The person in charge of Zhongke Supercapacitors told Slow News reporters that whether used alone or in combination with batteries, supercapacitors can maintain high power and stability, meeting the needs of many industries such as transportation, wind power, and power grids.

       He said that for example, electric vehicles shuttling through cities, if a set of supercapacitors is added to the battery module, it can effectively reduce the battery consumption speed, extend the battery life, and make the car run longer and farther.

       It is reported that the supercapacitors produced by Zhongke Supercapacitors this time have been improved in four aspects: rated voltage, volume, energy density, and capacitance, while ensuring the main functions of the capacitors. The energy density of capacitors at home and abroad is usually between 5-8Wh/kg, while the energy density of the supercapacitors produced by Zhongke Supercapacitors this time has reached 13-15Wh/kg, which is more than twice that of similar products! In terms of product volume and capacitance, it also has an absolute advantage due to the improvement of manufacturing technology.

       Founded in 2018, Chongqing Zhongke Chaorong Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales, and has a research team engaged in the research and development of supercapacitor devices and core materials for a long time. At present, the company has globally leading supercapacitor products and all their intellectual property rights.

       In November last year, Zhongke Chaorong completed an angel round of ten million yuan financing, mainly used for product research and development, pilot bases, and production line construction. In April of this year, the construction of a 2200 square meter supercapacitor pilot base located in Jinfeng Park was completed. By the end of June, the production line was connected and 3.2V capacitor products were taken offline, with a rapid development speed。

　　At present, the company has initiated a new round of financing, and at the same time, the enterprise is working on the research and production of a series of products, expected to enter the market in 2020. In the future, as a leader and pioneer in high-power energy storage technology, Zhongke Supercapacitors will also launch an impact on the Science and Technology Innovation Board!
