Applications
IoT devices.
Power that fits
the node, not the other
way round.
Connected devices are limited by their power source more than their electronics. Gii electrodes support thin printed cells and high-power supercapacitors, so designers can shape the energy store around the enclosure.
Where Gii is used
IoT hardware built on Gii
Five classes of connected device where a printed, conformable energy store changes what is possible.
Wireless Sensor Nodes
Long-life monitoring nodes where a flat printed cell replaces a coin cell and frees board area for sensing.
Asset and Condition Tags
Thin tags attached to equipment, pallets and containers that must survive handling without a rigid battery.
Pulsed Transmission
Supercapacitor formats supply the current burst needed for wireless transmission without oversizing the primary cell.
Edge and Embedded Devices
Compact devices where the energy store must conform to an awkward internal volume rather than a battery holder.
Energy Harvesting Buffers
Fast-charging storage that buffers solar, RF or vibration harvesting for intermittent duty cycles.
Why
.
High power density in a printed, flexible electrode
Design freedom
Grown on flexible substrates and patterned to arbitrary geometries, so the cell follows the industrial design.
Battery and supercapacitor
The same 3D porous carbon structure serves as a current collector for printed cells and as a high power density supercapacitor electrode.
No foil, no binder
A binder-free, highly conductive porous structure removes the metal foil and the mass that comes with it.
