Increasing Demand from China from Electric Vehicles and favorable Government initiatives to drive the APAC Super Capacitors Market to $897Million & Global Market to $4.2 Billion by 2020
 
[b]Super capacitors[/b] also known as [b]ultra-capacitors or electrochemical capacitors[/b] are electronic devices which utilize high surface area electrode and thin electrolytic dielectrics to achieve capacitances greater than conventional capacitors. The main challenging factor for the smart watches and fitness tracking equipment companies were facing was related to their battery performance issues. The small size constraints of these devices has limited the small energy cells used in them to deliver quick burst power which is required to broadcast data wirelessly over long distances. To overcome these issues researches at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a new flexible, nanowire-based supercapacitor which has storage capacities greater than their energy cell counterparts and can source power for [b]next generation fitness trackers and smart watches[/b].

The new types of [b]small supercapacitors[/b] are developed by using waste hump fibres as the starting materials. These [b]supercapacitors[/b] can deliver high bursts of power and can complement batteries. The newly researched supercapacitors use yarns made form niobium nanowires as electrodes. These [b]supercapacitors feature[/b] high volumetric power density of 55 W/cc and energy density of 7mWh/cc which is two to five times higher than the carbon-nanotube based yarns. The niobium based devices also occupy very low volume and can be produced at a relatively low cost.

Apart from [b]smart watches, fitness and health tracking devices[/b] the niobium yarn supercapacitors can be used in powering tiny robots and other devices where small bursts of power are required. They can also be operated at extreme temperature conditions and can be woven into fabrics to develop wearable devices with lower footprint.
