Advanced hybrid capacitor with lithium titanium oxide for automobile

Abstract

We have developed a next generation capacitor named Nano-hybrid capacitor (NBC), which uses a completely new lithium titanium oxide (LTO)-based negative electrode material comprising of nano-crystalline LTO grafted onto carbon nano-fibers (nano-LTO/CNF composite). The nano-LTO/CNF composite is simply prepared by using “Nano-hybrid technique”. The NBC has realized higher energy performance than electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) as a conventional capacitor, maintaining a good power performance as high as the EDLC.
