EK super high current capacitor

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 are high power supercapacitors?

High power supercapacitors are designed similar to electrolytic capacitors however supercapacitors use high surface area carbon for accumulation of charge as opposed to the low surface area foils in electrolytic capacitors. An electric double layer is formed at the interface of the solid carbon electrode and liquid electrolyte.

Are electrochemical supercapacitors effective in Microsystems?

Electrochemical supercapacitors stand out with their superior capacitance density, surpassing traditional electrolytic capacitors by at least two orders of magnitude. However, the intrinsic slow ion dynamics of electrical double layer effects greatly limit supercapacitors characteristic frequency, constraining their applicability in microsystems.

What are Eaton supercapacitors?

New Eaton supercapacitors have been developed incorporating both the high energy density of batteries (100 times the energy of electrolytic capacitors) and the high power of capacitors (10 to 100 times the power of batteries) as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Power density vs. energy density
