Supercapacitors provide an ideal power solution for increasingly smaller and more functional portable devices.
With high power and energy densities, Supercapacitors provide the high burst power required when taking a digital photo, sending wireless phone or PDA transmissions, providing back-up energy or hot-swapping battery packs.
Cap-XX has pioneered supercapacitor technology that leads the industry in energy density by combining high capacitance and low internal resistance in a thin and flat package.
This enables manufacturers to design smaller, thinner, longer-running GPRS/Edge/3G communication devices such as smartphones, PDAs, PCMCIA and CompactFlash modems plus is enabling emerging medical and consumer applications such as white LED flash in cellphones and digital cameras.
In its three-year production history, Cap-XX has shipped approximately 500,000 supercapacitors.
They use nanotechnology techniques to prepare raw materials and assembly techniques to achieve their leadership performance for high power delivery in the smallest packages.
They play a valuable role in wireless technologies and renewable energy sources like fuel cells and solar power.
'It is an honour for Cap-XX to become a Technology Pioneer', said Anthony Kongats, Cap-XX's CEO.
'It will be an excellent opportunity to discuss future innovations for supercapacitors with other pioneers in wireless, nano, and renewable energy technology'.
