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.
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.
A German physicist, Hermann von Helmholtz, first described the concept of the double-layer capacitance in 1853. General Electric Company in 1957, first patented EC based on the double-layer capacitance structure. This capacitor consisted of porous carbon electrodes using the double-layer capacitance mechanism for charging.
Binoy K. Saikia, in Journal of Energy Storage, 2022 The capacitance mechanism of Electric Double Layer Capacitors is similar to that of dielectric capacitors. In conventional capacitors, energy is stored by the accumulation of charges on two parallel metal electrodes which separated by dielectric medium with a potential difference between them.
General Electric Company in 1957, first patented EC based on the double-layer capacitance structure. This capacitor consisted of porous carbon electrodes using the double-layer capacitance mechanism for charging. The Standard Oil Company, Cleveland, Ohio (SOHIO) patented a device that stored energy in the double layer interface .
Therefore, the total capacitance value of a double-layer capacitor is the result of two capacitors connected in series. If both electrodes have approximately the same capacitance value, as in symmetrical supercapacitors, the total value is roughly half that of one electrode.
