DX-5R5H104U Working Principle

The DX-5R5H104U is a type of supercapacitor based on electric double layer capacitance (EDLC). The unique characteristics of EDLC are due to the combination of three factors: a solid polymer electrolyte, two layers of porous activated carbon electrodes, and an electrolyte-filled porous separator in between the two electrodes.

The porous activated carbon electrodes allow for greater surface area contact between the electrolyte and the electrical charge, which enables the quick exchange of ions between the electrodes. The electrolyte also enhances the electrostatic double layer effect, which is essentially the action of ions being attracted to both sides of the electrode. This attraction is what allows for the high capacitance of EDLC.

Additionally, the porous separator acts as a barrier to keep the electrodes from touching each other. This separator also creates a space for ions to pass freely between the two electrodes, resulting in improved ionic conductivity and lower resistance.

The combination of all three components makes the DX-5R5H104U supercapacitor a high-performance and reliable energy storage system. The device utilizes EDLC technology to deliver superior power and energy performance, and can be used in a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

The DX-5R5H104U supercapacitor from Panasonic is a reliable and robust energy storage device. It is based on electric double layer capacitance (EDLC) technology, and offers high power, energy, and long cycle life.
