Based in North Carolina, Superlattice Power, Inc. researches and develops high-capacity, high energy-density superlattice structures which are used as cathode materials in producing vehicle-grade lithium ion battery cells.
Many people are beginning to notice the allure of owning an electric vehicle, and companies like Superlattice Power, as well as its industry partner Hybrid Technologies, are turning a longtime dream into reality. With the development of new, high-grade cathode and anode materials designed by Superlattice, battery life has been extended significantly, leading to an extension in the driving range of lithium ion cars.
The layered (or, latticed) material is comprised of perfectly structured sub-microscopic crystals to allow for unbelievably efficient ion diffusion. This means that a Superlattice Power battery can be charged and discharged far more rapidly than traditional devices. Surajit Sengupta, Superlattice research director, stated, “Our objective is to create the next generation lithium ion polymer battery that is environmentally non-toxic, safe, less expensive and more powerful.”
Indeed, Superlattice’s creations should serve to accelerate the integration of all-electric vehicles into our nation’s mainstream. It seems logical to assume that this technology will trickle down into other relevant areas, such as advanced power solutions for consumer electronics. It is an exciting time for Superlattice Power, Inc.
