Nanotecture Ltd, nanotechnology material company, announces that it has been awarded a £374.6K grant by the UK’s DTI, to support a two-year research and development project entitled “Next Generation Super-capacitors for Hybrid Vehicle Applications”. The project involves collaboration between Nanotecture Ltd, Johnson Matthey Plc and HILTech Developments Ltd. It will combine Nanotecture’s novel materials technology with Johnson Matthey’s manufacturing skills and HILTech’s system engineering design capability.
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the benefits of Nanotecture’s proprietary, nanostructured materials in a novel power supply system for hybrid electric vehicles. This system will use super-capacitor technology to improve the overall driving experience of hybrid electric vehicles and increase overall energy efficiency, which in turn will have a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions.
