Iranian Researchers Make Electrochemical Supercapacitor with Various Capacities 

Nour-Ali Mohammadi, a senior member of Jahad.e Daneshgahi's scientific board, announced the completion of a technological research project for manufacturing "electrochemical supercapacitor based on nanoporous carbon compounds" in the Chemical Industries Development Research Institute and said that technology of making electrochemical supercapacitor with capacities of 20, 50, 100 and 200 Farad has been localized by the Iranian experts.

"Iran-made electrochemical supercapacitors have been manufactured based on relevant standards and can compete with foreign-made ones," he underscored.

"Electrochemical supercapacitors are among widely used and high-tech electrical equipments, which, with characteristics such as high power density, suitable energy density, very fast charging capability, very long life, and capability of being used in wide range of temperatures, are considered as one of the most important sources of energy storage which are used in electric and hybrid vehicles and equipment such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS), power supply networks, wind turbines, radars and military ammunition, radio communication equipment, etc," Mohammadi added.

He pointed to approximately three billion dollars annual trade of electrochemical supercapacitors and said, "Jahad.e Daneshgani is prepared to attract investment to establish electrochemical supercapacitors production line in Iran."
