Liquid fuel cells

 
Our new low-power tubular liquid fuel cells avoid the problems of flammability and operating temperature of methanol cells. Our liquid fuel is also more active than methanol, offering superior power densities.

These developments in power and lifetime will be invaluable in the portable electronics market, and in military applications such as covert surveillance and sensor technology.
Developments
  • Our rechargeable lithium cells charge and discharge at ten times the rate of standard lithium ion cells.
  • New high-capacity carbon-based supercapacitors offer a low-cost alternative to batteries for automotive applications.
  • Our flexible batteries give comparable performance to commercial cells.
  • We have developed a modular proton exchange membrane fuel cell for the Morgan LifeCar.
