Capacitor Science turns simple capacitor into high density, high energy storage device by altering dielectric materials.

Capacitor Sciences is developing patent-pending materials to create nano-structured crystalline thin films, that when used as the dielectric material in a capacitor, will be able to create high performance capacitive energy storage cells capable of surpassing energy density and power density of lithium ion batteries, at a significantly reduced cost per kWh. In addition, these capacitive energy storage cells will be non-flammable and safe to operate offering a significant benefit over that of lithium ion batteries.

New CEO leads Company through R&D
Capacitor Sciences hired David de Weese as its chief executive officer to take the Company from dielectric materials development to capacitor prototype performance testing. De Weese, also a general partner at Paul Capital, has held executive positions at life sciences, pharmaceutical and technology companies in the U.S. and in Europe, including Cygnus Therapeutic and Siga Technologies.

“There are dozens of companies enhancing capabilities of lithium ion batteries because it’s the industry- standard storage device,” de Weese said. “But lithium ion batteries are expensive, flammable and slow to charge and discharge. Capacitor Sciences is looking for a better way to increase the energy and power density with safer and economically viable energy storage devices.

“There is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to drive 1,000 miles in an electric vehicle. ‘Range anxiety’ is holding us back. The material that Capacitor Sciences has developed has the potential to power electric vehicles as well as to provide residential, commercial and utility-scale energy storage.”
