Impractically large for a traditional capacitor Not so for an ultracapacitor Ultracapacitors or supercapacitors achieve very high capacitance values by eliminating the solid dielectric layer of traditional capacitors Energy is stored in an E-field Not in a dielectric layer In an electric double layer Helmholtz double layer
A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits. It bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries.
An ultracapacitor has a nominal single cell voltage of 2.3 to 2.75V, which is fixed by the battery chemistry. In order to obtain higher voltages, cells are put together in series. Ultracapacitors can replace Li-ion batteries in portable electronics. The Specific Energy refers to the amount of energy that can be stored per unit weight.
All capacitors have voltage limits. While the electrostatic capacitor can be made to withstand high volts, the supercapacitor is confined to 2.5–2.7V. Voltages of 2.8V and higher are possible, but at a reduce service life. To get higher voltages, several supercapacitors are connected in series.
