Supercapacitors: A Brief Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new technology, the supercapacitor, has emerged with the potential to enable major advances in energy storage. Supercapacitors are governed by the same fundamental equations as conventional capacitors, but utilize higher surface area electrodes and thinner dielectrics to achieve greater capacitances. This allows for energy densities greater than those of conventional capacitors and power densities greater than those of batteries. As a result, supercapacitors may become an attractive power solution for an increasing number of applications. This brief overview focuses on the different types of supercapacitors, the relevant quantitative modeling areas, and the future of supercapacitor research and development.
