Carbon-Ion Energy was founded to develop a new class of energy storage device with considerable functional improvements over commercially available supercapacitors or ‘ultracapacitors’. This technology is referred to as the Carbon-Ion, or C-Ion, cell in contrast to Lithium-ion or Li-ion.
The C-Ion cell will provide specific power characteristics that are orders of magnitude higher than a Li-ion cell.It is designed to be classified as non-flammable and non-hazardous for transport, allowing the product to be shipped easily and to comply with both current and future regulations.
Due to the method of energy storage, the cell has fewer moving parts electrochemically and has 100,000+ cycles designed for a 30-year life. The C-Ion cell is being designed for manufacturing, using many of the technologies well known in Li-ion cell production. This will enable Carbon-Ion Energy to quickly scale-up production and use manufacturing capacity already in existence.
This will allow new products to be made and extra functions to be added to existing products, for example:
