In this project, McMaster will team up with NanoXplore and Nissan to develop novel graphene-based materials as next generation supercapacitor materials, and to integrate these developed graphene-based materials into advanced supercapacitor devices for automotive applications in electric vehicles. Supercapacitors are a category of energy storage devices that store energy by an electrical double-layer mechanism using electrostatic ion adsorption at the electrode surface. They have high power densities, so can be very complementary to batteries in electric vehicle fleets to improve driveability and performance. NanoXplore is a Canadian-based manufacturer and supplier of graphene materials, and Nissan is a global leader in automotive manufacturing and electric vehicles, representing ideal and complementary partners for this project. This project will train research personnel, along with developing new materials and energy storage technologies that can be commercialized for the economic benefit of Canada. Furthermore, by improving the performance and driveability of electric vehicles, they will be able to capture an increasing share of automotive vehicle markets, providing environmental benefits in the form of carbon emission reduction.

在该项目中，McMaster将与NanoXplore和日产合作开发新型石墨烯基材料作为下一代超级电容器材料，并将这些开发的石墨烯基材料集成到电动汽车应用的先进超级电容器设备中。超级电容器是一类能量存储装置，其通过在电极表面使用静电离子吸附的电双层机制来存储能量。它们具有高功率密度，因此可以与电动汽车车队中的电池非常互补，以提高驾驶性能和性能。NanoXplore是一家总部位于哥伦比亚的石墨烯材料制造商和供应商，日产是汽车制造和电动汽车的全球领导者，代表了该项目的理想和互补合作伙伴。该项目将培训研究人员，沿着开发新材料和储能技术，这些技术可以商业化，为加拿大带来经济利益。此外，通过改善电动汽车的性能和驾驶性能，它们将能够在汽车市场中占据越来越大的份额，以减少碳排放的形式提供环境效益。
