Various forms of carbonaceous materials, i.e., powders, fibers, papers or cloth (fabric or web), carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and related nanocomposites are candidates as the electrodes of electric double layer capacitors .
Electric double-layer capacitors are based on the operating principle of the electric double-layer that is formed at the interface between activated charcoal and an electrolyte. Activated charcoal is used as an electrode, and the principle behind the capacitor is shown in Figure 1.

Electrochemical double-layer capacitors, the main representatives of the EC family, operate through electrostatic ion adsorption into high-surface-area porous carbons, which forms an electric double layer (EDL) at the electrode–electrolyte interface 3.
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.
Similarly, a double-layer capacitor device must always involve (at least) two electrodes. This is an unavoidable requirement of all electrode interface measurements and all constructions of electrochemical devices, e.g., capacitors and battery cells.
