The "Lithium-Ion Capacitors and other Battery Supercapacitor Hybrids: Markets, Technology, 2025-2045" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Battery-supercapacitor hybrids BSH and the analysis predicts over $10 billion yearly sales within 20 years.
What do thermonuclear reactors, electromagnetic weapons, earthmoving machines and smart meters have in common? They all use lithium-ion capacitors LIC, something between a supercapacitor and a battery and often the best of both worlds.
Their importance is often missed by confusing terms like hybrid supercapacitor and superbattery, but the world is going their way, an example being artificial intelligence data centers becoming power and reliability-oriented. Consequently, they appear there as safer, longer lived, uninterrupted power supplies that act and recover faster. While they will not match the market size of metal ion batteries, they will overtake supercapacitors.
This commercially-oriented report is both lucid and thorough, involving:
6 SWOT appraisals, 12 Chapters, 30 Forecast lines 2025-2045, 30 Key conclusions, 107 New infograms, over 116 Companies and 153 best research papers from 2023/4 reviewed.
The Executive summary and conclusions (38 pages) is sufficient in itself including roadmaps and those 30 forecasts.
Chapter 2. Covers "Battery supercapacitor hybrids BSH: introduction to need, toolkit and manufacture" in 25 pages putting them in context of all evolving storage with many examples including e-bikes, wind turbines, trains, trams. Learn the chemistry and structure involved in tailoring them to be supercapacitor-like, battery-like or something in-between because there are commercial successes beginning for all of those options.
Chapter 3. "Future lithium-ion capacitor design and competitive position" takes 25 information-packed pages to reveal these specific constructions from the smallest electronics components to heavy engineering. Here are the issues and new market to be addressed.
Chapter 4. "Other metal-ion capacitors design and progress: Lead-ion, nickel-ion, potassium-ion, sodium-ion, zinc-ion capacitors", in 20 pages clarifies the best research and targetted markets for these with much advance in 2024. Why most work on sodium-ion capacitors? Why is nickel-ion capacitor NIC, particularly with cobalt receiving equal attention? Why considerable work on potassium-ion and zinc-ion capacitors? Involvement of graphene?
15 pages of Chapter 5. "Other emerging chemistries for battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage" concerns wild cards such as Zeolite Ionic Frameworks, MXene and MOFs composites for BSH and the relevance of metal alloys and manganese compounds.
After these simpler chapters, you are ready for the deep dive of Chapter 6. "Emerging materials employed with 2024, 2023 research pipeline analysis" going closely into electrodes, electrolytes and membranes in 50 pages with a flood of new research analysed and many infograms clarifying choices and trends.
Because BSH can be tailored to such a wide range of size and performance, the emerging applications and competitive positioning needs careful investigation and that is provided in Chapter 7.
Emerging BSH markets : basic trends and best prospects compared between energy, vehicles, aerospace, military, electronics, other. This is 11 pages because many applications have already been covered and more lie ahead.
Chapter 8. Energy sector emerging BSH markets (49 pages) reveals an extraordinary breadth of opportunity from recent adoption for the Japan Tokamak thermonuclear reactor, wind turbines and many uses in grids and microgrids, even electric vehicle fast chargers. This survey also includes supercapacitor applications likely to switch to BSH, initially LIC.
Chapter 9. "Emerging land vehicle and marine applications: automotive, bus, truck train, off-road construction, agriculture, mining, forestry, material handling, boats, ships" (50 pages) is equally broad in reach.
Chapter 10. Emerging applications in 6G Communications, electronics and small electrics (29 pages) is mainly revealing opportunities for small LIC.
Chapter 11. "Emerging military and aerospace applications" (20 pages) often involves hand-held to very large equipment, even aircraft.
Chapter 12. "116 BSH (including LIC), supercapacitor, pseudocapacitor, CSH companies assessed in 10 columns and 112 pages" looks at most supercapacitor manufacturers because they are either making LIC or eyeing that opportunity. With many pictures, parameters and news items, you can see the commercial activities and objectives in detail.
