Capacitance of porous carbon electrode in mixed salt non-aqueous electrolytes

“…In particular, asymmetric capacitor system containing lithium intercalation that is utilized on either electrode process has been attracted [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Generally, non-aqueous electrolytes containing lithium salts provide rather * Corresponding author.…”

New ceramic–carbon composites for electrodes for electrochemical capacitors

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. It combines electric conductivity with a high specific surface area.…”

“…Aqueous solutions of inorganic electrolytes [2][3][4][5][6]12,14] have high conductivity, but the narrow electrochemical window of water limits the voltage, and thus the power of the capacitors. Electrolytes based on organic solvents [7][8][9][10][11]13,15] have wider electrochemical windows, but lower conductivities. Recently, application of low-temperature ionic liquids [16,17] as electrolytes for electrochemical capacitors (often as components of gel electrolytes) was considered.…”

The anomaly in the dependence of the electronic conductivity of activated carbon electrodes at different charging states

“…While in batteries, energy storage is obtained via faradaic redox reactions, electrostatic interactions occurring at the solution-electrode interface are responsible for the energy storage in EDLC's [2]. Therefore, these devices are faster and more stable than batteries.…”
