Description The PowerStor Aerogel Capacitor is a unique, ultra-high capacitance device based on a novel type of carbon foam, known as carbon aerogel. Aerogel capacitors are similar to supercapacitors, ultracapacitors and electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) with the added benefit of low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance).
Electric double-layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors, electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), or ultracapacitors, are electrochemical capacitors that have an unusually high energy density when compared to common capacitors, typically on the order of thousands of times greater than a high capacity electrolytic capacitor.
The most common supercapacitor applications are memory backup and standby power. In some special applications, the supercapacitor can be used as a direct replacement of the electrochemical battery. Additional uses are filtering and smoothing of pulsed load currents.
If used as a battery enhancer, the supercapacitor can be placed inside the portable equipment or across the positive and negative terminals in the battery pack. If put into the equipment, provision must be made to limit the high influx of current when the equipment is turned on. Low impedance supercapacitors can be charged in seconds.
