Electro chemical/Super/Ultra capacitors
Electrochemical capacitors(EC),also known as super capacitors, ultra capacitors,
or electrical double-layer capacitors(EDLC).
They store energy in the electrical double layer at an electrode/electrolyte
interface.
The energy and power densities of electrochemical capacitors fall between those
of batteries and conventional capacitors.
Working of supercapacitor
A Super capacitor consists of two porous electrodes a membrane, which
separates positive and negative plated is called the separator.
Electrodes are electrically connected with ionic liquid called the electrolyte.
When the voltage is applied to positive electrode, it attracts negative ions from
the electrolyte.
When the voltage is applied to negative electrode, it attracts the positive ions
from electrolyte.
These ions are stored near the surface of electrode and these ions decrease the
distance of between the electrodes.
 Due to decrease of distance of electrodes, the capacitance become very huge.

Electrolyte materials
 The electrolyte including solvent and salt, is one of the most important constituents of electrochemical super
capacitors due to its advantages of ionic conductivity and charge compensation on both electrodes of the cell.
 These electrolytes can be classified as
 Organic electrolytes: Tetraethyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEABF4) dissolved in acetonitrile or propylene
carbonate solvent.
 Aqueous electrolyte: Sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide, and the sodium sulfate.
 Ionic liquids: Pyrrolidinium, imidazolium or maybe aliphatic quaternary ammonium salts coupled with such
anions as PF6, BF4 etc
 Solid-state polymer electrolytes: Dry polymer electrolyte, gel polymer electrolyte, and the polyelectrolyte.
Layered double hydroxide
 Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of multi-metal clay materials that are constituted by brucite
layers. It is also called as anionic clays, mineral of this family is hydrotactic(Mg-Al-Co3).
 Application
 Catalysis
 Separation technology
 Optics
 Medical science
 Nano composite material engineering
