This podcast episode deals with an energy storage technology that is still underestimated in materials science: #Hybrid #battery #supercaps. Supercaps are installed, for example, for regenerative braking (#recuperation) in vehicles such as buses, trains, cranes and trains. The powerful #energy #storage systems are also found in wind turbines. Now, the Estonian company #Skeleton Technologies invented a new hybrid form of battery supercaps.

Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann is Vice President of Business Development at Skeleton Technologies. Skeleton is a developer and manufacturer of energy storage devices for transport, grid and automotive applications.
There is few, but they do already exist today: Hybrid battery supercaps. The Estonian materials researchers are trying to take advantage of the characteristics of both worlds: The power density of supercaps and the energy density of batteries. This is historically not groundbreaking - but seems more promising than ever.
Skeleton's "#SuperBattery" achieve up to 50,000 charging cycles with ultra-fast 1-minute charging. The "SuperBattery" - like every supercapacitor - is said to be free of cobalt, copper, nickel, and soon to be used in public transportation vehicles (i.e., buses, trucks) and #charging infrastructure. The company is also hoping to soon equip large mining and off-road machines with its battery.
