Supercapacitors can store more energy than regular capacitors through electrochemical double layer capacitance. They provide very high charge/discharge rates, long cycle life, and high efficiency. While supercapacitors have lower energy density than batteries, they compensate with much higher power density and longer lifespan. Applications include public transportation, hybrid electric vehicles, backup power systems, and consumer electronics where high power delivery is needed.
A supercapacitor or ultra capacitor is an electrochemical capacitor that has an unusually high energy density when compared to common capacitors. They are of particular interest in automotive applications for hybrid vehicles and as supplementary storage for battery electric vehicles.

Supercapacitors offer a promising alternative approach to meeting the increasing power demands of energy storage systems and electronic devices. With their high power density, ability to perform in extreme temperatures, and millions of charge-recharge cycle capabilities, supercapacitors can increase circuit performance and prolong the life of batteries. This can add value to the end-product and ultimately reduce the costs to the customer by reducing the amount of batteries needed and the frequency of the replacement of the batteries, which adds greatly to the environmental friendliness of the end-product as well.
Ultracapacitors can be defined as a energy storage device that stores energy electrostatically by polarizing an electrolytic solution.
Unlike batteries no chemical reaction takes place when energy is being stored or discharged and so ultracapacitors can go through hundreds of thousands of charging cycles with no degradation.
Ultracapacitors are also known as double-layer capacitors or supercapacitors.
A presentation as a part of coursework on Ultracapacitors, the modern electric energy storage devices with very high capacity and a low internal resistance.
The transportation industry continues to adopt more supercapacitors into their designs each year. Advantages in power density, cold temperature performance, and lifetime make them suitable for accompanying or replacing a battery bank.
This presentation introduces what a supercapacitor is (it isn't just a big capacitor!), some characteristics to consider, and two applications of ELDCs.

Here's an abstract for the presentation titled "Integration of Mxene Supercapacitor and Li-ion Battery"
---
**Abstract**
The integration of Mxene supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries represents a promising advancement in energy storage technology, combining the high power density of supercapacitors with the high energy density of Li-ion batteries. This presentation explores the working principles, challenges, and potential solutions for enhancing the performance of these hybrid systems.
Mxenes, a class of two-dimensional materials comprising transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, exhibit unique properties such as high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, and tunable surface chemistry, making them suitable for supercapacitor applications. However, issues such as aggregation, hydrophilicity, and synthesis challenges must be addressed to fully leverage their potential.
The presentation delves into various approaches to overcome the energy density limitations of traditional supercapacitors, including the use of asymmetric supercapacitors, graphene hybrids, and nanostructured materials. It also highlights the synthesis processes for Mxenes, comparing methods like hydrofluoric acid etching, fluoride salt etching, molten salt etching, ionic liquid etching, and electrochemical etching, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages.
A detailed comparison of Mxene supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, and hybrid systems is provided, focusing on parameters such as capacitance, energy density, power density, cycle life, conductivity, and structural stability. The integration challenges, including electrolyte compatibility, electrode balancing, and safety concerns, are discussed, emphasizing the need for efficient and scalable synthesis techniques and a deeper understanding of charge storage mechanisms.
Finally, the future potential of Mxene-carbon hybrids for supercapacitors is explored, outlining prospective directions for research and development in this field. The findings presented underscore the significant role of Mxene-based hybrid systems in advancing energy storage solutions for applications requiring high power and energy density, such as portable electronics and electric vehicles.

3. What is Capacitor?
A capacitor (originally known as condenser) is
a passive two-terminal electrical component used to
store energy in an electric field.
When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the
conductors, a static electric field develops across the
dielectric, causing positive charge to collect on one plate
and negative charge on the other plate. Energy is stored
in the form of electrostatic field.
4. What is Supercapacitor
A supercapacitor or ultracapacitor is an
electrochemical capacitor that has an
unusually high energy density when compared
to common capacitors. They are of particular
interest in automotive applications for hybrid
vehicles and as supplementary storage for
battery electric vehicles
5. History
The first supercapacitor based on a double layer
mechanism was developed in 1957 by General Electric
using a porous carbon electrode [Becker, H.I., “Low
voltage electrolytic capacitor”, U.S. Patent 2800616, 23
July 1957].
It was believed that the energy was stored in the carbon
pores and it exhibited "exceptionally high capacitance",
although the mechanism was unknown at that time. It
was the Standard Oil Company, Cleveland (SOHIO) in
1966 that patented a device that stored energy in the
double layer interface [Rightmire, R.A., “Electrical energy
storage apparatus”, U.S. Patent 3288641, 29 Nov 1966.].
6. Advantages relative to Batteries:
Very high rates of charge and discharge.
Little degradation over hundreds of
thousands of cycles.
Good reversibility.
Low toxicity of materials used.
High cycle efficiency (95% or more).

11. Why supercapacitors?
Supercapacitors are known for over 50 years
(patent of General Electric, 1957).
Capacitance
Supercapacitor are able to store and deliver of Earth is
energy at relatively high rates (beyond those 0.0007 F
accessible with batteries).
A specific power of 5 000 W/kg can be reached.
Supercapacitor exhibit very high degree of
reversibility in repetitive charge-discharge cycling.
Cycle life over 500 000 cycles demonstrated.
12. Applications in Public Transport
China is experimenting with a new form of electric bus
that runs without powerlines using power stored in large
onboard supercapacitors, which are quickly recharged
whenever the electric bus stops at any bus stop, and
get fully charged in the terminus. A few prototypes were
being tested in Shanghai in early 2005. In 2006, two
commercial bus routes began to use supercapacitor
buses, one of them is route 11 in Shanghai.
In 2001 and 2002, VAG, the public transport operator in
Nuremburg, Germany tested a bus which used a diesel-
electric drive system with supercapacitors .
13. Since 2003 Mannheim Stadtbahn in
Mannheim, Germany has operated an LRV (light-rail
vehicle) which uses supercapacitors. In this
presentation, there is additional information about
that project by the builder of the Mannheim
vehicle, Bombardier Transportation, and the possible
application of the technology for DMUs (Diesel
Multiple Unit) trains.
Other companies from the public transport
manufacturing sector are developing supercapacitor
technology: The Transportation Systems division of
Siemens AG is developing a mobile energy storage
based on double-layer capacitors called Sibac
Energy Storage. The company Cegelec is also
developing a supercapacitor-based energy storage
system.
14. Features
Such energy storage has several advantages
relative to batteries.
Very high rates of charge and discharge.
Little degradation over hundreds of thousands
of cycles.
Good reversibility
Low toxicity of materials used.
High cycle efficiency (95% or more).
15. Technology
Carbon nanotubes and certain conductive
polymers, or carbon aerogels, are practical for
supercapacitors. Carbon nanotubes have
excellent nanoporosity properties, allowing tiny
spaces for the polymer to sit in the tube and act as
a dielectric. Some polymers (eg. polyacenes)
have a redox (reduction-oxidation) storage
mechanism along with a high surface area. MIT's
Laboratory of Electromagnetic and Electronic
Systems (LEES) is researching using carbon
nanotubes [1].
16.
17. Supercapacitors are also being made of carbon
aerogel. Carbon aerogel is a unique material
providing extremely high surface area of about
400-1000 m2/g. Small aerogel supercapacitors
are being used as backup batteries in
microelectronics, but applications for electric
vehicles are expected.
18.
19. The electrodes of aerogel supercapacitors are
usually made of non-woven paper made from
carbon fibers and coated with organic
aerogel, which then undergoes pyrolysis. The paper
is a composite material where the carbon fibers
provide structural integrity and the aerogel provides
the required large surface.
The capacitance of a single cell of an
ultracapacitor can be as high as 2.6 kF (see photo
at the beginning).
20. Disadvantage
The amount of energy stored per unit weight is
considerably lower than that of an electrochemical
battery (3-5 W.h/kg for an ultracapacitor compared to
30-40 W.h/kg for a battery). It is also only about
1/10,000th the volumetric energy density of gasoline.
The voltage varies with the energy stored. To effectively
store and recover energy requires sophisticated
electronic control and switching equipment.
Has the highest dielectric absorption of all types of
capacitors.
21. Applications:
Maintenance free applications
Public transportation, HEVs, Start-Stop System
Back-up and UPS systems
Systems of Energy Recuperation
Consumer electronics
