Development of energy storage textiles

The EDLCs store charge electrostatically by using reversible adsorption of ions of the electrolyte on to high specific surface area materials, usually activated carbons. The charge separation occurs on polarisation at the electrode-electrolyte interface, which was first described by Helmholtz in 1853 as double layer capacitance. This is mathematically defined as  

Due to the low diffusion coefficient of H+ ions (10 cmWs) and the alkali cations to the interior of MnO particles, the specific capacitance of MnO electrodes in aqueous electrolytes, in the presence of binder and conductive additives, is often inhibited to 

The Li+ ion batteries generally produce an output voltage of approximately 3.5 V with the Li-based cathode materials such as LiCoO, LiMn O, LiFePO, etc.
