“#This company thinks wood pulp could be the future of EV batteries<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Japanese Nippon Paper Industries Co. is examining how to replace EV lithium-ion batteries by using\u2026 trees, reports Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company wants to create supercapacitors that will use cellulose nanofibers, which are produced from wood-derived pulp, and refined to\u00a0the size of hundredths of a micron or smaller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As per Nippon Paper, such supercapacitors could potentially store and release energy with better performance and smaller environmental impact, compared to existing batteries.<\/p>\n

Well, on the one hand it\u2019s true that supercapacitors have been already considered as a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

They have a higher power density, which means they can release energy more quickly, a longer life span, faster charging times, and they don\u2019t degrade over time.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, they have only but a tiny bit of the storage capacity of a battery. And that\u2019s exactly what Nippon Paper\u2019s project plans to fix.<\/p>\n

In a paper<\/a> published in March, a team of collaborating scientists offered evidence that supercapacitors using cellulose nanofiber technology<\/a> could store large amounts of energy.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s just me, but I can\u2019t easily grasp how a technology that is currently used in products such as diapers and food additives could actually become the next-gen powertrain of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

For anyone curious about it, a cellulose nanofiber\u00a0pilot energy storage system will be demonstrated\u00a0\u00a0at the World Expo in Osaka in 2025, while the firm aims to commercialize its product by the following decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
