CapTop, spin-off company of the Federico II University of Naples, has the industrial capabilities and the scientific competences to lead the product and process innovation of the world class supercapacitor scene. We are the first supercapacitor tech-company in Italy and among the first in the world to have the 3V supercapacitor cell line product, besides the ‘classic’ 2.7V products, available as cells form 1 to 5000F or as modules from 18V to 72V, that can be joined in series and/or parallel for building the projected voltage and capacity.
Who We Are
CapTop s.r.l.
At CapTop we have solutions for the main supercapacitor applications and our team is working to deliver solutions for new use cases, especially in the automotive and micro-grid storage.
Energy storage for UPS or grids
SCs are widely used for improving the Power Continuity and the Power Quality at datacenters, hospital, military bases and other critical applications which requires long lifetime, high reliability, free of maintenance, and wide working temperature. Usually, those applications have small storages because they are intended to avoid micro-power shortages, like voltage sags, that may damage many special devices.
High power density demanding applications
SCs are widely applied to provide huge power for short time. Their huge power density overwhelms the performance of electrochemical batteries for such applications in the fields of Nuclear fusion, defense, aerospace, and industry where the power is required for a short time, ambient conditions are harsh and the maintenance is reduced. CapTop provides custom solutions for such market.
AUTOMOTIVE
Commercial SC-based solutions for specific task are available for both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric cars. They range from aids to jump start or start/stop in ICE models to regenerative braking in hybrid and BEVs.
Public transportation
A special feature that always creates a favourable situation for SCs versus batteries is the charging speed and the higher rate of brake energy recovery, allowing SC mobility applications. There are many situations, in which vehicles do repetitive tasks and frequent stop, like trains, tramways, city bus trip, airport shuttle, school bus, waste management truck and forklift in a port or in a factory.
