Yunasko took an active part in two recent energy storage events

Yunasko took an active part in two recent energy storage events – “Batteries 2014” conference (Nice, France, Sep.24-26) and NEST workshop (Frankfurt, Germany, Oct.14-15) – see the most recent Yunasko presentation attached.

Batteries 2014 was the 16th conference in the series, and this was the first time when supercapacitors were also included in the agenda. Three companies presented the main trends in modern supercapacitor technology, namely:

• Maxwell Technologes presented some advantages of combined solutions “battery plus supercap”;
• JM Energy presented the most recent achievements in LIC technology; and
• Yunasko presented the most recent achievements and also key trends in supercapacitor and hybrid technologies.

NEST workshop organized by Hutchinson was focused on new trends in supercapacitor technology, in particular, the use of nano-sized electrode materials, ionic liquids and other novelties. Our attention was drawn to the following presentations:

• F. Gonzalez, IDTechEx. Supercapacitor market trends and forecasts.
• B. Sahut, PSA. Supercapacitor applications in the automotive.
• J. Reiter, BMW. Ionic liquids in Li-oxygen and Li-ion batteries.
• Y. Gogotsi, Univ. Drexel. Two-dimensional metal carbides for capacitive energy.
• J. Miller, JME. High frequency graphene EDLC.
