Issues and Approaches
Issues of HPAs:
• Poor film forming – Often, HPA are pressed as pellets
• Soluble in water
• Sensitive to moisture and temperature
A good solid electrolyte should possess: High ionic conductivity at all temperature range
High stability and shelf life
Our Approach:
• Composite with polymer to immobilize the HPAs
• Additives
![Page 14: Electrochemical Supercapacitors in F.E.E](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020620/61e4bf1bb3f8e44ea4527850/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Summary
• SiWA - H3PO4 – PVA electrolytes have been
shown to
1. perform equal or better than liquid aqueous electrolyte;
2. be applicable for both EDLC and pseudocapacitors.
3. store and deliver charge at ultrahigh rates;
4. retain its conductivity and ultrahigh rate capability over
time, yielding excellent shelf and cycle life;
5. enable multi-cell ECs in single package without
sacrificing rate capability.
• Solid polymer electrolytes are viable for high rate
and high power energy storage devices.
