Exploring new opportunities for graphite-based hybrid ultracapacitors

In July 2013 three scientists from YUNASKO – Dr. Natalia Stryzhakova, Dr. Andrii Buvailo and Dr. Sergii Zelinskiy - have participated in short-term secondments to Kyiv National University of Technology and Design (KNUTD).  Together with colleagues from KNUTD, they assembled several series of graphite-based electrodes and created lab-scale prototypes to test performance of new hybrid ultracapacitors.

This work was done within Energy Caps project funded by European Union under FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IAPP Marie Curie Actions program. The main goal of the Energy Caps project is to develop sustainable and safe hybrid supercapacitors with high specific energy and power maintaining good cyclability of the devices.

Kyiv National University of Technology and Design is a higher education institution of the 4-th level. Together with educational work, the University conducts intensive research and development work, in particular, in the field of electrochemistry and energy storage technology. KNUTD is a Consortium member of Energy Caps project.
