Smaller, lighter, safer and cheaper energy storage will prove to be the key enabler for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ranging from scooters, compact and luxury cars to busses and mass-transit. Charge-depletion mode systems in these vehicles require much-improved energy storage.
As mobile electronics become increasingly sophisticated, the demands placed on the energy storage escalate in terms of energy stored (run time), charge time, useful life (charge cycles) and safety. MP3 players are now also video players. Cell phones are now multi-purpose communications platforms with Internet and cameras. Laptop computers are constantly increasing processor speed. Digital cameras are constantly increasing image resolution and used for video recording. Portable video players and recorders are moving to High Definition.
Cordless power tools have moved well beyond the humble cordless drill and are now multi-purpose, high-performance equipment requiring increasing amounts of energy, fast recharge, greater power surge and longer cycle life. See Ionova's SOLUTIONS and TECHNOLOGY to understand how our revolutionary 3-D Nanofilm™ technology will meet these challenges and provide Energy Innovation for the Unplugged Generation ™.
