FM NIO

FM NIO

FM NIO:

Super Capacitor Treatment FM NIO is a high-purity Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) produced exclusively for the demanding world of energy storage, including ultra-capacitors and advanced batteries. The material is meticulously engineered to serve as a high-performance electrode, with a vast, highly accessible surface area for electrochemical double-layer charge storage. Its unique microstructure, which boasts a BET surface area of over 1500 m 2 /g, provides an immense number of active sites for ion adsorption, which directly translates to a higher specific capacitance and energy density.

The precisely controlled particle size distribution and exceptionally low impurity levels are crucial for achieving low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and ensuring a long cycle life for the final energy storage device.

Technical Evaluation & Competitive Advantage

Record-Breaking BET Surface Area: With a BET surface area exceeding 1500 m 2 /g, FM NIO offers a significantly larger active area for charge storage than typical carbons. This directly results in higher capacitance and power density for your ultra-capacitor devices.

Ultra-Low Ash Content: Impurities (ash) can lead to side reactions and degradation of the electrolyte, severely reducing the lifespan of an energy storage device. Our ash content of less than 3% is one of the lowest in the industry, ensuring maximum electrode stability and a longer cycle life.

Optimal Pore and Particle Distribution: FM NIO’s hierarchical pore structure is designed for both high surface area (micropores) and fast ion transport (meso/macropores), creating a perfect balance for high-power applications.

FM NIO – Advanced Carbon Materials for Energy Storage
