The unit also features a temperature range from -25°C to +70°C.The electric double layer capacitor can be used in various applications, including automotive, industrial, renewable energy, and home electronics. Its ability to absorb and discharge rapidly make it ideal for applications that require high power delivery, such as energy harvesting and peak power smoothing.

Working Principle

The working principle of the electric double layer capacitor is based on the physical and chemical properties of materials called “dielectric materials”. A dielectric material is able to store electrical charge on its surface.When an electric charge is applied, a double layer of charge is formed near the interface between the metal surface and the dielectric material. This phenomenon, called the electric double layer effect, results in the creation of two capacitive plates.The electric double layer capacitor consists of two layers of activated carbon electrodes and electrolyte, separated by an ion-selective membrane. The electrodes are charged with negative and positive ions, creating an electric field across the faces of the capacitor.When a voltage is applied, the ions move to the negative or positive electrodes, depending on the polarity of the voltage. This creates an electric dipole across the capacitor, which enables the capacitor to store charge. The polarization of the electrodes increases with higher voltage.
