Abstract A new technology, the supercapacitor, has emerged with the potential to enable major advances in energy storage. Supercapacitors are governed by the same fundamental equations as conventional capacitors , but utilize higher surface area electrodes and thinner dielectrics to achieve greater capacitances.
The two primary attributes of a capacitor are its energy density and power density. For either measure, the density can be calculated as a quantity per unit mass or per unit volume. The energy E stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance: E= 1 2 CV. 2. (3) In general, the power P is the energy expended per unit time.
