Accelerated life testing (ALT) for capacitors provides important data of their lifetime, aging, and performance in various environments. With accelerated life testing both lifetime of capacitors and lifetime of devices using these capacitors can be improved.
The critical performance parameters of a supercapacitor are measured using three main electrochemical techniques, which include cyclic voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Charge/Discharge (GCD, also known as constant current charge/discharge) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
The testing techniques for supercapacitors due to high specific capacitance require constraints like time constants and as such require suitable adaptations and modifications of the conventional techniques and instrumentation to yield desired estimations.
Lifetime evaluation can be used to either develop a better capacitor, or to improve existing electrical devices using the capacitors, or to extend lifetime of machines using these capacitors. The lifetime evaluation of capacitors shall be done in different environments with the ALT test setup.
Over the past decades, various advanced electrode materials and cell design have been developed to improve the performance of electrochemical capacitors. Hybrid capacitors and pseudocapacitors achieve much higher energy density due to their fast surface redox reactions.
When the test is started the temperature of the environmental chamber was set to constant, 100° Celsius in this first test, and the ripple current was introduced also as a constant value being roughly 92A RMS for each phase and capacitor. The first tested aluminium electrolytic capacitors had a capacitance of 7000μF.
