Capacitors asymmetric

Finely dispersed carbon substances introduced into the active mass of pseudocapacitive electrodes of hybrid (asymmetric) capacitors play the most important role in operation of an efficient volumetric collector.

Depending on the type of boundary and field, a force may act on the static interface. This can be seen from Figure 10-8. For the analysis, let us place the crystal between asymmetric capacitor plates. Without the field, the boundary (b) is surrounded by a symmetric (AX/AX) or an asymmetric (AX/AY) space charge. Thus, an inhomogeneous electric field exerts a force on the (dipolar) interface. The boundary... 

By contrast, a battery-like electrode is characterized by an almost constant potential during charging and discharging. Thus, in order to get the largest cell voltage in an asymmetric capacitor, where the capacitive electrode is replaced by a battery-like one, the selected battery-electrode potential must be close to the low or high limit of the potential window. 

The common approach which has been recently introduced for realizing asymmetric capacitors using any of these two materials, as negative electrode combined with an activated carbon, consists in extending the working potential window of the positive electrode [113-116], In this sense, Figure...

In capacitors, the terms positive or negative electrodes are commonly used. The two electrodes can be made from two different materials (asymmetric capacitors) or of the same material (symmetrical capacitors).

Electrochemical capacitors are attractive for application as power sources. Instead of conventional activated carbon electrodes, we applied electrochemically active manganese oxides as electrodes of asymmetric capacitors. This chapter presents the recent contributions of the manganese-based supercapacitors.
