Maxwell and Nanotek instruments to collaborate on state funded graphene based ultracapacitor research

Energy storage maker Maxwell Technologies said it received more than $500,000 in state and federal (US) funding for energy storage research and development programs. One of these programs is a testing and evaluation project of new graphene material produced by Nanotek Instruments. These testing are performed to determine how graphene might be used to increase the energy density of ultracapacitors.
