    Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs), also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, store energy through static charges in the electric double layer formed at the interface between electrode and electrolyte surfaces. EDLCs resemble conventional capacitors but have much higher energy density. They typically use activated charcoal or carbon nanotubes as electrode materials due to their extremely large surface areas. EDLCs have very high power density and can charge and discharge rapidly, making them useful for applications requiring bursts of energy like hybrid vehicles and consumer electronics. However, their energy density remains relatively low compared to batteries.

    Electric Double Layer

    Capacitors (EDLC)

    INTRODUCTION

    Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) are


    also called super capacitors or ultra
    capacitors. They store energy in the form of
    static charges. EDLC resembles the ordinary
    capacitors but having high energy density.
    EDLC have very low working voltage ,and are
    used in hybrid vehicles. EDLC ‘s are rated
    from Farads to Kilo Farad ranges

    HISTORY & PRESENT

    Electric double layer effect was first noticed by


    General Electric engineers in 1957. But this
    effect is rediscovered and researches are
    done by Standard oil of Ohio in 1966. But it is
    NEC,who finally marketted the result as
    SUPER CAPACTORS.
    Due to the development of Material Science in
    90’s,this technology improves rapidly. Today ,
    electronic devices, Locomotives uses this
    technology.

    CONSTRUCTION

    EDLC’s construction is a little different to that


    of ordinary capacitors. EDLC’s doesn't have
    any conventional dielectric rather than ,two
    plates separated by an inverting substance.
    The Super Capacitor uses plates of same
    material having same electrical properties
    and are called electric double layer.

    4
    5
    Main materials used for the construction are
     Activated Charcoal
     CarbonNano Tubes
     Aerogels

    6
    EDLC use Activated Charcoal as plates.
    It is because
     It’s a powder made of very small & rough
    particle
     It’s having a low density particles with holes
     Over all surface area is very much larger than
    other materials like Al , Ti etc.

    7
    But Activated Charcoal is not a perfect
    material for EDLC. It's because
    • The charge carriers are quite larger than the
    pores in the Charcoal .
    • Some times too large pore size in charcoal.

    8
    Carbon Nano Tubes are used today.
    • They have same charge storage capability as that of
    Charcoal
    •Having much more mechanically arranged rigid pattern.
    •Having much more surface area.

    9
    PRINCIPLE & WORKING

    EDLC store electrical charges similar to that of ordinary


    capacitors. But charges doesn't accumulate on electrode,
    instead it is stored in the interface between surface of the
    conductor and electrolytic solution.
    Capacitance of EDLC is given by the equ:

    C= A ε / 4 π d

     A- Area of the contact plates


     d- distance between the plates
     ε – dielectric constant of the medium between the plates

    10
    11
    ELDC works on the process of double layer
    formed between electrode and electrolyte when
    a pd is applied.

    12
    During charging, electrically charged ions in the
    electrolyte moves towards electrodes of
    opposite polarity due to electric field between
    charged electrode created by pd. Thus two
    charged plates are produced. This charged ions
    occupy spaces of the electrode and electrolyte
    which is separated by a very small distance. Due
    to large surface area large number of ions are
    formed ,
    resulting high
    capacitance.

     Consumer electronic devices that demand sudden energy bursts for
    wireless communications, processing, and memory storage.
     Industrial: applications requiring energy storage, bridging, delivery, and
    smooth transitioning.
     Telecommunications : portable wireless devices, communication
    Satellites, cell towers, or off-the-grid electric power generation
     Transportation : vehicles that frequently accelerate and brake use SC.

    BATTERY vs. CAPACITORS
     Batteries
     Store energy by converting between electrical and
    chemical energy
     Shelf life of a few years
     Not all are rechargeable
     Capacitors
     Store energy as an electric potential between two
    surfaces and a dielectric constant (ie. Aluminum)
     Rechargeable
     Long shelf life
     Miniscule amount of energy loss during shelf time

    20
    FUTURE SCOPES
     Hybrid Battery

    The idea of replacing batteries with capacitors in


    conjunction with novel alternative energy
    sources became a conceptual umbrella of
    “Green Electricity (GEL) Initiative, introduced
    by Dr. Alexander Bell.
    Hybrid Battery is the one which have the
    properties of both capacitor and battery. High
    power density of caps and High energy density
    of battery is combine together

    21
    Hybrid battery system is a new highly reliable
    energy storage device.

    22
    CONCLUSION

    This presentation deals with EDLC as an Energy


    storage device.The main advantage of this
    ELDCis ,Its having high power density, eco
    friendly, used in hybrid vehicles etc.
    I hope ,new technologies in the material science
    & Nano will make this Super capacitor more
    advanced.
