What is an electric double layer capacitor?

An electric double layer capacitor is a capacitor that uses the electric double layer formed at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte to store an electric charge and is characterized by its exceptionally high energy density.

What are electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs)?

Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are devices based on Carbon/Carbon-based electrodes and have the characteristics of being charged and discharged very fast (within seconds) and can therefore be used where high power is required. Despite the high-power capability, these devices have limitations in energy density.

What is a two terminal supercapacitor?

A two terminal supercapacitor would then be the equivalent of two capacitors in series. Due to the high electrode surface area and thin IHP and OHP, the supercapacitor essentially bridges the energy and power gap between a battery and traditional capacitors as it leverages the basic theory behind capacitors.

What is a supercapacitor?

The type of supercapacitor (SC) is determined by the material used to fabricate the electrode. Generally, if carbon-based material is used, it falls into the category of electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). For Transition metal oxides, MXene, MOFs or conducting polymers, etc., it falls into the pseudocapacitance category.
