We are very happy to announce that CarbonCap has been selected to partecipate at the semi-finals of the GAMIC Event - Global Automotive & Mobility Innovation Challenge. We will present our business idea on February, 26th via web, to a commettee of judges that will evaluate all the semi-finalists and decide which of them will take part in the finals. The team will flight to Detroit on April, 9th to attend the whole-week event that will take place there, together with all the other semi-finalists. The week will end with the finals, that will see 12 start-ups to compete for the prizes available, that amount to 300'000$. The Global Automotive & Mobility Challenge, or GAMIC, was created to identify innovative early-stage automotive products / systems and mobility companies; cultivate new technologies and solutions; and hasten their adoption into the automotive industry. For the participants, the benefits of GAMIC include mentoring, visibility, acceleration and, for ...

Carbon Cap aims to get a patent on the solid supercapacitor in 2019. To do so, CarbonCap will be following parallel researches based on two different technologies. The first technology is being developed by the help of the battery research group in the Università di Parma. Meanwhile, CarbonCap is developing a its own technology in the UniMoRe laboratories. It is important to remark that those two technologies are not alternatives but aim for two different product typologies. The first well defined objective, is to file the patent of the first technology in middle 2019 and the other by the end of 2019, as above mentioned. Those first two patents will be released in Italy and then, in 2020 will be extended to Europe. At the same time, research and development on hardware will be carried out with future partners. Meanwhile, the patents will be exploited by selling licenses to the customers.

Why a solid electrolyte?

The first step into the technology development of the composite materials has been the choice between solid and liquid electrolyte. Nowadays, the current liquid electrolytes have reached incredible performances in terms of capacity and energy stored, however they present many drawbacks such as: Low breakdown voltage. Low stability at higher temperature. Possible leakage and evaporation related phenomenon. Flammability. Fixed shape cylindrical cell. CarbonCap proposes a solution that overcome all the problems thanks to the solid state electrolyte. Basically, a solid electrolyte cannot leak or evaporate due to the state of the matter.  This feature, incredibly increases the safety of the supercapacitor. Moreover, being completely solid, the supercapacitor is shaped upon any body or surface. In this way, we'll be able to substitute pre-existing parts of a vehicle, replacing them with an energy storage system, thanks to our structural feature. Summarizing...
