Market Dynamics Growth of electric mobility worldwide drives the global market

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing remarkable expansion, driven by rapid technological progress, favorable government initiatives, and growing consumer concern for the environment. The push for sustainable mobility is prompting automakers to broaden their EV portfolios and enhance battery technologies.

• According to the IEA, global electric car sales surpassed 17 million in 2024, reflecting growth of more than 25%. Notably, the additional 3.5 million units sold in 2024 compared to 2023 exceeded the total worldwide EV sales recorded in 2020. While China remains the market leader, the U.S. and Europe are also witnessing significant gains.

Together, these trends position electric mobility as a central force in the transition to sustainable transportation, reinforcing strong market growth in the years ahead.

Development of hybrid supercapacitors creates tremendous opportunities

Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) are gaining attention as an advanced energy storage technology, blending the fast charging and discharging ability of supercapacitors with the higher energy storage capacity of batteries. This combination makes them ideal for uses requiring both high power and moderate energy density.

• In March 2024, researchers reported the in situ growth of hydrophilic nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets on porous carbon derived from biomass waste. The approach delivered an exceptional specific capacitance of 2390 F g−1 and an energy density of 52.47 Wh kg−1, while maintaining 75.9% of its capacitance after 4000 cycles.

Such innovations underscore the promising role of hybrid supercapacitors in achieving a balanced solution between power and energy storage for an extensive range of applications.
