Electric double-layer capacitors were made from activated carbons used for electrochemical measurements; load-life tests have been carried out. ... and ion transfer characteristics were investigated by various experiments, namely, the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD).
In 1853, German physicist Helmholz proposed the concept of electric double layer [5]. He assumed that the electric field in the double layer forced ions to diffuse into the microporous electrode, which he called the principle of charge storage. But in recent decades, electric double layer capacitors (EDLC s) have only been used for energy ...
Section snippets Theoretical background. Electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC) (supercapacitors) are the intermediate systems between electrochemical batteries that can store high energy density associated with low power density values, and dielectric capacitors, which can deliver very high power during few milliseconds [1].

Supercapacitors - an overview
The biggest limitation of the current electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) is the low energy density, one of the reasons is the poor electrochemical stability of the commercial TEABF 4 /acetonitrile electrolyte, resulting in the operating voltage window (OVW) of the device is only 2.7 V. Thus, the development of …
The effect of pore size on the response characteristic of an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) was closely examined. A series of phenol-resin-based activated carbon (AC) samples was prepared as average pore size from 0.94 to 1.68 nm by KOH activation by varying the activation temperature and KOH/carbonized phenol-resin …
