Electric double layer capacitor with activated carbon electrodes
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038454A1) discloses an electric double layer capacitor with specific components and characteristics. The capacitor includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode with an activated carbon polarizable layer containing a surface functional group, and an electrolytic solution comprising an aprotic solvent and a quaternary ammonium salt. The key feature of this capacitor is the value of an index D, calculated using a specific formula provided in the claims, which must be 2.5 or less for the capacitor to meet the requirements.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify the types of aprotic solvents and quaternary ammonium salts that can be used in the electric double layer capacitor. The aprotic solvent can be a lactone compound like ?-butyrolactone or a carbonate compound such as propylene carbonate. Similarly, the quaternary ammonium salt can be diethykmethylammonium salt, methylethylpyrrolidinium salt, or triethylmethylammonium salt. These specific combinations of components aim to enhance the performance and efficiency of the electric double layer capacitor, as outlined in the patent claims.
