The funding, which will be matched by the company and private investors, enables the continuing development of a printed energy storage device as thin as a piece of paper. The three-year-old company has designed an ultracapacitor thinner than any other in production, according to Printed Electronics World. The device uses a cellulose-based material, is patternable, flexible and able to capture almost 30 percent more energy than other ultracapacitors.
The funding allows for the retooling of print stations, and a pilot production line to be built, to meet demands for samples, with a view to commercialisation by 2013.
