Characterization and evaluation of the performance of batteries and supercapacitors

Development of autonomous and environmentally friendly power sources for portable devices, vehicles, and defense weapons, with the aim of expanding applications and improving performance associated with rapid response and high power requirements.

Development, characterization, and evaluation of portable powered sensors.

Supercapacitors offer exceptional performance as power sources for defense applications. This is due to their high power (electromagnetic weapons and heavy vehicle starting systems) and their near-instant response (immediate active protection defense systems). Supercapacitor-based technology is aligned with the European Union's green energy goals; they offer a long lifespan, with a large number of charge and discharge cycles, are virtually maintenance-free, and can even operate at extremely low temperatures. Furthermore, their rapid charging and discharging makes them especially useful for powering IoT sensors, including data acquisition applications in defense.
