Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) [1, 2] is the electric energy storage system based on charge–discharge process (electrosorption) in an electric double layer on porous electrodes, which are used as memory back-up devices because of their high cycle efficiencies and their long life-cycles. A schematic illustration of EDLC is shown in Fig. 1.
Electrochemical double layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are energy storage elements with high energy density compared to conventional capacitors and high power density compared to batteries.
As a part of this renewed interest in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), researchers began seeking new strategies to synthesize high surface area porous carbon-based materials as electrodes for EDLCs to obtain high specific capacitance and high energy density.
Because an electrochemical capacitor is composed out of two electrodes, electric charge in the Helmholtz layer at one electrode is mirrored (with opposite polarity) in the second Helmholtz layer at the second electrode. Therefore, the total capacitance value of a double-layer capacitor is the result of two capacitors connected in series.
These two layers, electrons on the electrode and ions in the electrolyte, are typically separated by a single layer of solvent molecules that adhere to the surface of the electrode and act like a dielectric in a conventional capacitor. The amount of charge stored in double-layer capacitor depends on the applied voltage.
Various forms of carbonaceous materials, i.e., powders, fibers, papers or cloth (fabric or web), carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and related nanocomposites are candidates as the electrodes of electric double layer capacitors .
