  6. - + + - + - - + + - - + - + What is a Supercapacitor? Principles: Capacitance is proportional to the surface area of the carbon (A), divided by the charge separation distance (d) C α A / d So as Surface Area , and Charge Distance , Capacitance  C = I * dt / dV ESR = dV / I Energy stored = ½CV2 -ve +ve Nanoporous carbon: Large surface area Electrolyte: Ions in a solvent Separation distance: Solid-liquid interface Separator: Semi-permeable membrane Electrode: Aluminum foil Electrical Model: Electric Double Layer Capacitor

  7. What Do They Do? The Power Gap Capacitors Capacitor replacements Battery complements Battery replacements • Supercapacitors are energy storage devices. They store far more energy than conventional capacitors, are far more powerful than batteries & can be charged & discharged far more quickly & far more often Batteries • In some applications, paired with an energy harvester, fast charger or inductive charger, they can completely remove the need for a battery Supercapacitors fill “the power gap” between capacitors & batteries

  8. Cap v Scap v Batt Battery Capacitor Supercapacitor • Low Energy • Stored as static electricity) • High Power (releases very quickly) • Moderate Energy • Stored as static electricity) • High Power (releases quickly) • High Energy • Stored as a chemical reaction) • Low Power (releases slowly) The water tank analogy • Supercapacitor: • Moderate volume • Moderate pressure • Moderate tap • Capacitor: • Small volume • High pressure • Big tap • Battery: • Big volume • Low pressure • Small tap Inaccessible energy
