Anthony brought this press release to our attention with this preface statement (edited):

: "I caught this news about Sunvault, a Canadian company which recently announced a next-to-market, new, 10,000 farads graphene-based supercapacitor. With a size described as a paperback novel, which should be a real breakthrough energy storage technology with multiple applications from off-the-grid to EVs."

For those of you not familiar with capacitor sizes, I did a quick Google image search for 1 Farad capacitors (wide range of voltages), where you'll see sizes ranging from a large water drinking bottle to 1/3 of a D-cell battery. 10,000 of the smallest of these is going to take up much more space than a paperback novel.

While we typically only cover exotic free energy technologies in our news, the more I looked into this company, the more excited I got about what they have. They don't just have an affordable energy storage solution, their technology also serves as a solar energy harvesting technology -- in the same cell. Imagine that! Furthermore, it can charge from any light source.

Sunvault has designed a way of making graphene by pouring a liquid mixture of graphite oxide, which is a water-dispersible material, then coating (pouring) it onto plastic (CD) then treating it with laser light (in a computer) to oxygenate it to turn it into graphene, using off-the shelf components (in parenthesis).

In a GE Focus Award video, they talk about charging a 1 Farad supercapacitor the size of a postage stamp for 2-3 seconds, then lighting an LED bulb for over 5 minutes. The energy density is an astonishing 500 Farads per gram (voltage not mentioned).

A supercapacitor is like a battery in its ability (duration) to store energy, but it can charge and discharge 100 to 1000 times faster than a battery.

On their home page, they talk about being able to have a smart phone that never has to be charged. I would guess that this is a function of the solar harvesting and storage and power density all in the same technology.

As far as being "clean," graphene is biodegradable, so at the end of life you can put it in your compost and use it in your garden (minus the electrical portion -- wires, etc.)

But in talking about disposal, I should mention that the life cycle is expected to be indefinite, with no components that deteriorate over time: hundreds of thousands of cycles expected to be possible.

The present best pricing for batteries and supercapacitors is $500/kW-h (for Lithium-ion). At their entry to the market in the third quarter 2015, they expect to have a price point of $100/kW-h that exceeds what Tesla (Motor Co) was expecting in a few (~5) years ($150/kW-h), and by the end of 2015, Sunvault expects to get down to less than half that price: $40/kW-h.

As a business, they are being very wise by diversifying their portfolio so that they have involvement in the gamut of relevant ventures: Electrical audits, Utility Build, Installations, Build outs, Commercial, and Residential.
