How Super Capacitor Works

• Super capacitor consists of two nonreactive porous plates and electrolyte with an applied voltage across the plates
• Positive plate attracts negative ions in the electrolyte and Negative plate attracts positive ions in the electrolyte
• There are two layers of capacitive storage, one where the charges are separated at the positive plate and another at the negative plate

Advantages of Super Capacitor

• Super capacitor has long life (up to 10 yrs) compared to conventional capacitor
• Storage capacity of super capacitors are in the range of 1000 Farads while conventional capacitor has only in the range of 100 micro Farads
• It withstands against changes in temperature, shock, overcharging and discharging efficiency
• It requires less maintenance
• Super capacitor can be charged and discharged several times
• It is environmental friendly when it is disposed

Significance of Activated Carbon in Super Capacitor

• In super capacitor the electrode is made from high porous activated carbon
• The porous structure of this material gives high surface area up to 2000 meter square/g
• The combination of enormous surface area and extremely small charge separation gives the super capacitor an outstanding capacitance
