SUPER CAPACITOR

Construction of Super Capacitor

Activated Carbon: Extremely porous with a very large

surface area. Surface resembles a sponge. Area allows more electrons to be

stored than other conductors.

Activated Carbon ( Activated Charcoal )

Composed of nanometer sized particles covalently bonded together

High porosity (>50% under 100 nm)

Large surface area (400–1000 m²/g)

Aerogel is a low-density solid derived from gel that has had the liquid component replaced with a gas.

Carbon Aerogel

Carbon Nanotubes

Approximately 1/50,000th the width of a human hair

Strongest and stiffest material on earth (>300 X Steal)

Low density Semiconductor

Examples of Super Capacitor Capabilities

The CSIRO in Australia [national science agency] has developed the UltraBattery, which combines a super capacitor and a lead acid battery in a single unit

4x longer life cycle, 50% more power, 70% cheaper than batteries used in HEV’s

Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Regenerative Braking Example

1,000kg car travelling at 50 km/h and stopping in 10 secs.

1. Kinetic Energy of the vehicle = 96.45kJoules This is the maximum amount of energy that can be recovered during regenerative braking at 100% efficiency

2. Average Power generated during braking = 9.64 kWatts

3. At 14V Charging Voltage, Charging Current = 689 Amps

• This charging current is too large for a battery to accept, but not for a super capacitor
