  7. Why Supercaps for EV/PHEV? Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) has purchased the Electric Double Layer Capacitor (supercapacitor) business from Kanebo Ltd for an estimated •100 million yen, according to reports in the Japanese business press (August 2008). Fuji Heavy Industries plans to start commercial production of the ultracapacitor device before the end of 2010, and to sell the product to other companies, in addition to using it for its own vehicles.

  9. Supercaps for EV and PHEV • Non-aqueous electrolytes fail at temps as low as 65ºC owing to thermal decomposition reactions. • Supercap modules in hybrid EVs experience operating temps as high as 125ºC. • New thermochemically stable electrolytes are required to enable supercap performance at elevated temps over long periods of time. • Such electrolytes incorporate ionic liquid materials. www.covalentassociates.com

  11. Ionic Liquids • ILs are materials composed solely of anions and cations. • Molecular solvents are composed of neutral speciesbenzene, propylene carbonate, water www.covalentassociates.com

  17. Summary • A new family of non-flammable and thermochemically stable ionic liquid electrolytes has been developed. • Such electrolytes enable supercapacitor performance at temperatures in excess of 150ºC. • We are working with device manufacturers to bring safe, high temperature supercaps to the auto industry.
