Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC)

A JJC0E566MELA is an electric double layer capacitor, also known as EDLC, supercapacitor, supercondenser, ultracapacitor, or goldcap. An EDLC is an electronic storage device similar to a battery that can store and release a large amount of energy very quickly. Unlike regular capacitors, EDLCs are able to store more energy for a given volume, making them attractive for many applications.

The working principle of EDLCs is based on electrostatic storage. Unlike conventional capacitors, which use two conducting plates separated by a dielectric material, EDLCs use two thin films of electrode material separated by an electrolyte. This design allows for greater charge capacity and faster charging and discharging, while also allowing for higher power output. The charge is stored in layers, termed “double layers”, of the electrode material.

EDLCs can be used in a variety of applications, such as power conditioning, energy storage, power conversion, and emergency power supply. In power conditioning, EDLCs can be used in power converters to smoothen the ripple of the power output. EDLCs can also be used in energy storage, either to store energy in the form of electric charge (for later use) or in the form of an electrochemical reaction (for immediate use). In applications where rapid charging and discharging are necessary, such as in emergency power supplies, EDLCs can be used to quickly store and release energy as needed.

Supercapacitors

A JJC0E566MELA is also classified as a supercapacitor. A supercapacitor is a high-capacity capacitor with a much higher capacitance than conventional capacitors. Supercapacitors are able to store and release energy at a much faster rate than regular capacitors. As such, they are attractive for a variety of applications, such as power electronics, energy storage, and emergency power supplies.

The working principle of a supercapacitor is based on the same principles as an EDLC - two thin films of electrode material separated by an electrolyte. However, supercapacitors are typically built with activated carbon electrodes, which have a much higher surface area than conventional electrodes, resulting in a higher capacitance. This higher capacitance allows supercapacitors to store and release energy much more quickly than regular capacitors.

Supercapacitors can be used in a variety of applications, such as energy storage, power electronics, and emergency power supplies. In energy storage applications, supercapacitors can be used to store energy in the form of electric charge, allowing for rapid charging and discharging of the energy. In power electronics, supercapacitors can be used to smooth the ripple of power supply output and reduce or eliminate switching noise. Lastly, in emergency power supplies, supercapacitors can be used to quickly store and release energy to power the system in case of a power failure.
