Energy storage principle of double-layer capacitor

What are electrochemical double layer capacitors?

Electrochemical double layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are energy storage elements with high energy density compared to conventional capacitors and high power density compared to batteries.

What is electric double layer capacitor (EDLC)?

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.

What is electric double layer capacitance?

The electric double layer capacitance is a crucial phenomenon in energy storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors. While it provides many benefits for energy storage, it also introduces some challenges, especially in the context of battery recycling for energy storage.

How does a double layer capacitor work?

These two layers, electrons on the electrode and ions in the electrolyte, are typically separated by a single layer of solvent molecules that adhere to the surface of the electrode and act like a dielectric in a conventional capacitor. The amount of charge stored in double-layer capacitor depends on the applied voltage.

How long does it take to charge an electric double layer capacitor?

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.

What are the technical challenges faced by electric double layer capacitors?

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.
