(GESD), 40% owned by Lomiko Technologies, a 100% owned subsidiary of Lomiko Metals Inc. (\"Lomiko\") (TSXV: LMR) (OTC: LMRMF) (FSE: DH8B), is pleased to announce the successful completion of a development project undertaken jointly with the Research Foundation of Stony Brook University (SBU). The SBU team lead by Dr. Samuilov explored a novel method for assembly of high-voltage Supercapacitor units. The SBU team assembled and tested a 10 V Supercapacitor energy storage unit, thus proving feasibility of the high-voltage design. This development opens avenue for new low-cost energy storage products. Currently, GESD is working on scale-up of the technology and an in-field evaluation of the energy storage unit. \n\"Lomiko is developing a group of mineral and technology development projects that include lithium and graphite exploration, new battery and supercapacitor development and 3D printing capability,\" Stated A. Paul Gill, Lomiko CEO. \nImage: https://www.accesswire.com/uploads/20838_lomiko1.jpg\n\nTo view an enhanced version of this image, please visit: \nhttps://www.accesswire.com/uploads/20838_lomiko2.jpg\nSupercapacitors are promising energy storage devices. Due to their fast charge-discharge characteristics, low equivalent series resistance, long cycle life, wide operating temperatures, supercapacitors are finding application in transportation, industrial and grid energy storage. There is rapidly growing demand for capacitive energy storage systems with high power and energy densities. However, individual supercapacitor units have very low stand-off voltage, < 3 V. In order to increase the operation voltage to a practical level, > 3 V, the EDLCs are connected in series stacks. The EDLCs need to be interconnected and balanced with an electronic circuit, which results in a bulky and expensive energy storage system. \nThe GESD-SBU team demonstrated design and implementation of a sealed high-voltage EDLCs energy storage unit. The unit is internally balanced, there is no need for an external circuit. The electrode is very cost-effective nano-carbon composite either of a commercial carbon or of graphene p...
