Exhibitor products

NGK will introduce Honeycomb ceramics substrates used as a key component for DAC systems, Sub-nano ceramic membranes used for RNG or H₂ separation processes and SOEC contributing for production of green hydrogen.

NGK’s thin-wall Honeycomb ceramics substrates have low pressure loss and high specific surface area. In addition, NGK can coordinate the thermal capacity, cell structure/pore microstructure and durability. Sub-nano ceramic membranes are formed using a thin, defect-free separation layer applied onto the Honeycomb ceramics substrates to achieve a more accurate gas separation with high efficiency. In addition, NGK will introduce remarkable SOEC cells and stacks for the first time at exhibition. NGK has developed various Solid Oxide Electrolyte products and has acquired knowledge and techniques for optimizing SOEC cells. One of NGK’s advantages is the low resistance of their cells, which enables a decrease in cell cost. These products can provide a more cost-effective means of green hydrogen production compared to competing products and technologies.

These products improve on CO₂ capture processes by reducing the capital costs and energy consumption.

EnerCera, lithium-ion rechargeable battery series

EnerCera Series is an ultra-thin and compact lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The semi-solid-state battery, using our proprietary crystal-oriented ceramic electrode plate, has the characteristics ideal for IoT sensor applications. These characteristics include high capacity, high output, high heat resistance, and long life, which were difficult to coexist with conventional lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. In addition, when combined with power delivery technologies such as photovoltaics and wireless power transfer (WPT), EnerCera enables a self-sustaining IoT device that can be used for a long time without replacing the battery. We are contributing to the miniaturization and high functionality of IoT devices such as environmental sensors, position trackers, wearables, and flexible sensor tags. NGK’s exhibit will include the products of these partner companies.

Chip-type Ceramic Secondary Battery "EnerCera" Series

EnerCera is a Li-ion secondary battery with NGK's original Crystal Oriented Ceramic Plate as electrodes.
The energy density is double and the internal resistance is less than a half compared to commercial secondary batteries of the same size. EnerCera is an ultra-small/ultra-thin onboard-type high-performance battery for operating ICs, sensors and a wireless communication system which needs large current such as several 10 mA to several 100 mA.
