Energy & Environment

In August 2007, JSR Corporation launched JM Energy, dedicated to the development, manufacture and marketing of its ULTIMO Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC), an electrical storage device that stores or releases electricity through rapid electrostatic reactions.

Compared to a battery that stores electricity through slow chemical reactions, a capacitor makes it possible to charge and discharge electricity almost instantaneously with an extremely long cycle life.

Since that time, JSR and JM Energy have also developed an aqueous binder for lithium ion batteries.  Our aqueous binders offer significant improvements in safety, performance and manufacturing cost compared to traditional organic binders.
