Carbon nanotubes can store and release electricity faster than lithium-ion batteries.

Recently, foreign media reported that the French NAWA Technology Company is developing a ultracapacitor based on nanotechnology - carbon nanotubes. Its biggest characteristic is that it can decrease 30% weight of lithium ion battery pack with electric vehicles power battery invariable performance.

It is known that carbon nanotubes using carbon nanotubes and graphene Nano technology manufacturing, in addition to substantial weight loss at the same time, can do than lithium ion battery faster store and release electricity. UlrikGrape NAWA technology company chief executive said: "our advantage is not only lightweight, faster charging and discharging rate is also one of the advantages of this new technology. Assembly of carbon nanotubes can power battery with higher efficiency obtained from the kinetic energy recovery, and rapid for motor."

It is worth mentioning that although carbon nanotubes can provide very fast transmission of energy, but not the nature of the mass storage energy. According to the progress, the consideration which can realize the technical route of battery pack is installed carbon nanotubes as deputy are integrated into the battery lithium ion power battery improve charging rate at the same time, in play to the advantages of the lithium ion battery energy density high, at the same time reduce the main battery (lithium ion battery charging and discharging times, to prolong its service life, improve the battery life.

Allegedly, through mathematical model simulation assembly the NAWA carbon nanotube FormulaE of the car battery, on the basis of the performance and battery life, weight decreased by 30%.Progress is to convert the study towards commercialization, the goal is to "production" in 2022, and applied to the European market in the new energy vehicles; Next year is expected to start in the electric tools and logistics company based on the special equipment to provide battery products containing carbon nanotubes.

In addition to the power battery can be used in carbon nanotubes, another option are to the technology as a material body panel, in order to achieve the purpose of lightweight. Had been showed a lamborghini and built TerzoMillennio concept car at the Massachusetts institute of technology, part of the appearance of covering parts of the concept car is composed of carbon nanotubes, and reduce body weight.
