Foreword
Nano e•science company, developed an invention focused on new nanotechnology for anodes related to the use of nano-composites whose application initially in negative plate on lead acid batteries, enables supercapacitance without parallel reactions, in this case hydrogen production, maintaining the recyclability of the battery and not generating production waste, being fully sustainable without harming the environment.
Among these nanocomposites, Nano e•science has developed Graphene Niobium Oxide nano-composites with high electrochemical activity (high conductivity and high surface) and that can be optimized for many others battery technologies. The nano-composites can be transformed into different phases and structures of niobium oxide, by both by heat treatment and electrochemical processes.
The disruptive technology does not have the limitations of current PbAc technologies for new demands:
- Regenerative braking systems for EVs;
- High load acceptance due to high current pulses;
- Use in batteries coupled to intermittent energies of high volatility, e.g. wind turbines;
- Decreased sulfation and higher energy efficiency in systems operating at partial state of charge(PSoC), e.g. photovoltaic systems
- Zero CAPEX in traditional lead-acid battery manufacturers;
- Maintains high recyclability;
- It does not generate an increase in parallel reactions (especially the evolution of hydrogen in the negative plates.
