CAP-XX has been recognized for its breakthrough nanotechnology process for producing high capacitance (1 farad or more), low equivalent series resistance (< 100 milliohms) supercapacitors that deliver the highest energy and power densities in a thin, flat, prismatic package suitable for portable electronics devices. The company's supercapacitor construction uses carbon electrodes on aluminium foil with a porous separator between the two electrodes arranged in multiple flat layers connected in parallel. The aluminium foil moves the charge current into and out of the carbon where the actual charge is stored in the supercapacitor.

CAP-XX has used nanotechnology:

• To optimize the capacitance per unit volume of carbon by increasing the surface area.
• To lower the resistance of the carbon/aluminium boundary.

These electron microscope photographs of the CAP-XX carbon electrodes show the supercapacitors' nanostructure and construction which optimizes the capacitance and ESR. The result is the industry's highest energy and power densities that can be packed into a thin, flat prismatic package to meet the pulse-power requirements of portable electronic devices. These prismatic supercapacitors allow designers to produce thinner, longer-running products such as cell phones, PDAs, medical devices, AMRs, and notebooks.

Anthony Kongats is CEO of CAP-XX Ltd., designer and manufacturer of supercapacitors, which provide an ideal power solution for increasingly small and functional portable electronics devices like cell phones and PDAs.

Anthony founded the company in 1997 as a vehicle to commercialize the supercapacitor technology and intellectual property spawned by CSIRO Australia. Delivering higher power bursts than batteries and storing more energy than capacitors, supercapacitors provide the high power bursts required, without
draining the battery, when taking a digital photo, sending wireless cell phone transmissions, or taking a GPS reading, for example.

CAP-XX has been recognized for its breakthrough nanotechnology process for producing thin and flat, or prismatic, supercapacitors that will easily fit in portable electronics devices.

Anthony Kongats is CEO of CAP-XX Ltd., whose supercapacitor energy-storage technology enables emerging consumer electronics applications such as advanced LED flash camera phones to produce high-resolution pictures even in low light. CAP-XX supercapacitors provide enough flash power to an LED in a short pulse to eliminate both dark and blurry photos, while a battery cannot.
