Startup Venture
aims to develop a nanocarbon-based technology that can store as much energy as Lithium-ion phosphate batteries while all its other properties resemble ultracapacitors, including the ability to be charged more than a million cycles at very high rates of charge (up to 100 C). This remarkable performance is due to its construction that is physically similar to a conventional capacitor with a key difference: the carbon storage media is arranged so that charges can be distributed throughout the material's volume without any chemical reaction. This charge storage mechanism, differing from mere surface charge storage in conventional capacitors, allows an order of magnitude greater energy density than the best commercial ultracapacitor today. With its superior storage capacity and high charge-discharge rates, VoltLeaf battery has the potential to enter a wide array of markets ranging from niche sectors served by ultracapacitors (attenuating power surges, bridging short-term power losses, or transferring very large amounts of energy in a very short time) to the markets currently served by batteries (power a phone, cordless tool, and more recently electric cars).

Internship Description
The internship will focus on developing market strategies and reaching out to North American battery industries to develop partnership. The internship is divided into three phases: (a) identify and analyze potential partners, investors, and clients within the battery value chain, (b) network and interview with professionals to gain insights on the market needs and industrial ecosystems, and (c) strategize, implement, and iterate marketing strategies.
