The first attempt.

CAP-XX engineers sent several working prototypes of the SMT supercapacitors though a reflow oven at 260°C. Before reflow, the thin, prismatic prototypes had ESRs (equivalent-series resistance) of 60 and 100mΩ, capacitances of 1.0 and 0.5 Farads, and voltage ratings of 2.75 and 5.5V, respectively. The process had only minimal impact on performance, changing the ESR and capacitance by less than 10%.

AND the improved version.

Notice the capacitance and no mention of the process effect the product.

CAP-XX has made considerable progress in the development of its new cylindrical surface mount technology. SMT will be a unique product in the market for small supercapacitors with capacitances ranging from 0.1F to 20F. The SMT will allow supercapacitors to be soldered onto printed circuit boards ("PCBs") using the reflow oven process which is the preferred industry method for the manufacture of PCBs. Apart from taking market share from existing supercapacitor sales, the Board believes the SMT will accelerate the growth in supercapacitor sales by eliminating a key barrier for technology uptake for many potential high-volume customers.

The point I'm trying to make is that the company never declared as far as I know that it was a failure...

Just let time passby.

However looking at the patent and tech details compared to their last attempt it appears they've more of a chance of success this time.

Fingers crossed.

Seems m

Spent some time over the last weekend researching smt...

I understand what's been said and the potential...

However while there's silence then there's always the possibity of another....false dawn!

However if this smt is approved and adopted Cap-xx becomes a £300m mcap within weeks.

The days and the weeks are passing by....

Surely they have the testing results of the smt by now.

OR Is it a case like last time.....say nothing and let investors figure out the results themselves?

The linkedin comments have been removed.

Cap-xx getting into a slanging match on linkedin regarding their response about running out of money...

Certainly not very professional and they basically say investors knew the risks....it's not their fault.

Hmm....not impressed.

Hope you've all seen the Cap-xx response to the comment from a poster on LinkedIn regarding running out of money....suggests Cap-xx happy with their cash position.

Where do you get that ligna are partners with energous?

Epeas I can find....but not energous?

The new DMH has not been revealed yet.

Reportedly 0.30mm and you would imagine includes the new binder.....

Thus entering a league of its own.

As evidenced by these data, the ESR rise is much slower using PSS as a binder compared to using CMC, and the capacitance is lost more slowly. The PSS capacitors performed better after 600 hours than the CMC capacitors performed at 50 hours.

There was less gas generated in the cells for the supercapacitors that used PSS binders as judged by the lower force exerted on the load cell at 100 hours than the equivalent CMC capacitor at 10 hours.

Just a reminder....

Energous partnered with epeas Aug 2022 and Cap-xx Nov 2022.

It was stated in one of the Q&A that Cap-xx are currently in a transformation period...

Dettering orders to supply the newer products?

Thoughts on transformation period anyone?

I was reading on linkedin about how Cap-xx are reaching out to investors to contact them regarding any questions.

People suggesting that they have but no response.

I asked Cap-xx to define CO branded because that to me implies both names on the product and as we know so far it's just Schurters.

3 days.....no response.

Explains the excitement relalated to the products under a common brand name.

Two tier supercaps from Cap-xx?

Or will Cap-xx utilise as well.......you would think so..

Sulfornated not saturated.

Described herein are electrode active layers for energy conversion or storage devices, such as supercapacitors or batteries, and which comprise an active material and a binder comprising a salt of a sulfonated polymer. Also described herein are slurries for producing such active layers, composite electrodes comprising such active layers, and uses of such active layers in energy conversion or storage devices, as well as methods of making such active layers.

Should imagine anyone using the above methods would have to licence from Cap-xx after the patent is granted.

And then the actual salt of satunated polymer isn't just commercially available it has to be formulated...

Again rights to sell such a binder?

Well that's what I'm hoping for....we will see.

Let's not forget the more important one.

Or Cap-xx could buy Schurter!!

A lot of water to go under the bridge before either scenario!.

However those 2 patents are company changing and will revolutionise the electronics industry.

Dr Cooley knows this.....to be confirmed soon hopefully....

Stay tuned..( favourite saying of first share ceo I ever bought into....MTV....they went bust!)

Actions speak louder than words.

£1M invested and chairman of the company in just over a year.

A keen environmentalist...

Before those 2 patents Cap-xx was just another supercapacitor manufacture...one of 100s in a ever growing amount of new manufacturers.

Murata customers had no problem replacing Muratas products elsewhere
