Postulates of Supercapacitor and Performance Assessment Parameters: A Technical Overview
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2020
The advancements in supercapacitors (SCs) are happening at an exceptionally high rate as the remarkable need for these storage devices are identified in different areas of life mainly hybrid vehicles, portable electronic devices, aircraft, smart grids, short term energy storage etc. Batteries with high energy densities are the state-of art solutions but they suffer from safety risks especially with poor compatibility with flexible systems. SCs, as the energy storage device bridging the gap between Lithium-ion batteries and conventional capacitors, are excellent candidates with fast charging-discharging rates, long cycle life and safer operation. This overview highlights the fundamentals of SC and its different varieties based on type and electrode materials with particular emphasis on factors affecting the performance of SCs. The dynamic characteristics of SCs strongly related to the ion mobility of the electrolyte used and the porosity effects of the porous electrodes. The advent of high energy density nanomaterials has made SC superior in different areas of energy needs of present world.
Performance of Commercially Available Supercapacitors

High energy density storage device exhibiting a reliable lifecycle is needed in the 21st century. Hence, energy storage research is critical for reducing energy consumption. Supercapacitors exhibit such characteristics via interfacial ion electrosorption and fast redox reactions. They are a feasible solution for transportation applications, among others, due to their superb characteristics. In this paper, we provide a background on supercapacitors, review public data on commercially available supercapacitors for performance characteristics, and finally summarize their performance in terms of energy density, equivalent series resistance, and device time consistency.
Supercapacitors: Electrical Characteristics, Modeling, Applications, and Future Trends
IEEE Access
Energy storage systems are playing an increasingly important role in a variety of applications, such as electric vehicles or grid-connected systems. In this context, supercapacitors (SCs) are gaining ground due to their high power density, good performance, and long maintenance-free lifetime. For this reason, SCs are a hot research topic, and several papers are being published on material engineering, performance characterization, modeling. and post-mortem analysis. A compilation of the most important millstones on this topic is essential to keep researchers on related fields updated about new potentials of this technology. This review paper covers recent research aspects and applications of SCs, highlighting the relationship between material properties and electrical characteristics. It begins with an explanation of the energy storage mechanisms and materials used by SCs. Based on these materials, the SCs are classified, their key features are summarized, and their electrochemical characteristics are related to electrical performance. Given the high interest in system modeling and a large number of papers published on this topic, modeling techniques are classified, explained, and compared, addressing their strengths and weaknesses, and the experimental techniques used to measure the modeled properties are described. Finally, SCs are successfully used in the market sectors, as well as their growth expectations are analyzed. The analysis presented herein gives the account of the expansion that the SC market is currently undergoing and identifies the most promising research trends on this field.
Characterization and Model Parameters of Large Commercial Supercapacitor Cells
IEEE Access, 2021
The paper reports the results of the test and modelling activities carried out on large commercial supercapacitor cells at high current. Four commercials cells, with rated capacitance of 3000 F and rated voltage of 2.7 V, are considered. All cells are submitted to consecutive charge/discharge cycles at constant current. A test current in the range 80-130 A is used, which is comparable with the maximum operating current (up to 150 A) that the cells can reach in practical operations. A circuit model of the cells, able to reproduce the most relevant dynamic behavior, with a good compromise between accuracy, simplicity and robustness of the model's parameters, is also developed and validated against the experimental data. It is shown that all the investigated commercial cells are characterized by similar phenomena and comply with the same circuit model. Moreover, it is shown that the circuit parameters of the cells are in the same range and are weakly dependent on the test current. The obtained circuit parameters are accurately reported for all the cells and made fully accessible to users.
Electrical, Frequency and Thermal Measurement and Modelling of Supercapacitor Performance
2008
This paper presents an evaluation of commercial supercapacitors performance (ESR, C, self-discharge, P max , E max , coulumbic efficiency, etc), under different conditions. Characterization of supercapacitor performances as a function of current, voltage, frequency and thermal constraints, is carried out by constant current test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and voltamperometry. A comparative study of measurement techniques is conducted in detail in this work. The supercapacitor self-discharge amplitude is determined by measuring the decline of open-circuit voltage. The mechanisms of the self-discharge, leakage current and diffusion of ions at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces are modelled by a new electrical equivalent circuit. In addition, we model the electrochemical impedance of self-discharge with diffusion-controlled in frequency domain. Supercapacitor is represented by two complementary electrical equivalent circuits: two branches and non-homogeny pores. The first represents the supercapacitor time behaviour. The second represents supercapacitor dynamic behaviour. Finally, the origin and a new model of pseudoinductance are described.

Supercapacitors can store a million times more energy per unit mass or volume compared to electrolytic capacitors. Due to their low internal resistance, they are capable of driving or absorbing pulsative high currents. Over the last quarter, century supercapacitor (SC) manufacturers have developed several families of mass-scale devices with high-power density and a longer cycle life that helped the end-users to improve their energy storage systems and products. Today, there are three common device families, namely, (i) symmetrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), (ii) hybrid capacitors with a lithium electrode, and (iii) battery capacitors based on pseudo capacitance concepts. This review paper compares these families and provides an overview of several state-of-the-art applications in electric vehicles (EVs), microgrids, and consumer electronics.
