Technical FAQs 4

What is a supercapacitor?

A supercapacitor is a specially designed capacitor which has a very large capacitance. Supercapacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries into one device. Supercapacitors have charge and discharge times comparable to those of ordinary capacitors.

What are supercapacitors & EDLC?

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors and electric double layer capacitors (EDLC), are capacitors with capacitance values greater than any other capacitor type available today. Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors.

What is the difference between a capacitor and a supercapacitor?

Conventional capacitors store energy through the separation of static charges on their electrodes. In comparison, supercapacitors utilize a unique construction consisting of porous electrodes and an electrolyte to form an electric double layer.

What are the types of supercapacitors?

The first type of supercapacitors are the electrostatic double layer capacitors. These supercapacitors consist of a separator, an electrolyte and two electrodes. The electrolyte is a mixture containing negative and positive ions dissolved in water. A separator separates the two electrodes of these capacitors.
