Binoy K. Saikia, in Journal of Energy Storage, 2022 The capacitance mechanism of Electric Double Layer Capacitors is similar to that of dielectric capacitors. In conventional capacitors, energy is stored by the accumulation of charges on two parallel metal electrodes which separated by dielectric medium with a potential difference between them.
Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) [1, 2] is the electric energy storage system based on charge–discharge process (electrosorption) in an electric double layer on porous electrodes, which are used as memory back-up devices because of their high cycle efficiencies and their long life-cycles. A schematic illustration of EDLC is shown in Fig. 1.
Because the separation of the layers is atomically small, the capacitance of an electrical double layer is huge. Electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are energy storage devices which utilize the electric charge of the electrical double layer. EDLC consists of a pair of electrodes which are called the positive and negative electrodes.
The main characteristics of electric double layer capacitors are described below. The surface structure of the activated carbon (pore diameter and volume, specific surface area) has a large influence on capacitance.
Whereas charging a rechargeable battery requires several hours, an electric double layer capacitor can be charged in a matter of seconds. Furthermore, the number of charge cycles for a battery is limited, but the electric double layer capacitor in principle has no such limitation.
A further increase in energy density, improved charge/discharge characteristics and thermal characteristics, as well as electrode material improvements are some of the technical challenges that still need to be addressed. The main characteristics of electric double layer capacitors are described below.
