Company

Nanotecture, the Energy Technology Company, is focused on providing solutions to the power and energy requirements of the portable electronic and automotive markets. The Company can do this as it has developed a unique approach to fabricating nanoporous battery electrodes utilising self-assembled liquid crystal templates. This patented process allows precise engineering of a nanoscale architecture, which can be tailored to customer requirements for many specific applications. The nanostructured material can significantly improve power density when integrated into a battery, or be used to produce supercapacitors (ultracapacitors) with both high energy and power capabilities. The microbatteries and supercapacitors can be fabricated to less than one square centimetre in area and 200 microns in thickness for miniature electronic applications and to larger sizes appropriate for electric car and truck engine applications.

This environmentally safe system uses an electrolyte that is water-based, non-toxic, and non-flammable, unlike the lithium ion batteries that are currently popular. The particles used are micron-sized with nano-pores, avoiding the need to use nano-particle type technologies. Another advantage is an extended battery life with charging / discharging cycles that are orders of magnitude greater than conventional batteries.  This leads to low life-of-system costs where maintenance and battery replacement are greatly reduced.   Through nanotechnology, a new platform has been created that will revolutionise the future of energy storage devices.
