ELECTROCHEMICAL DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITOR USING ORGANOSILICON ELECTROLYTES

摘要

Disclosed are supercapacitors having organosilicon electrolytes, high surface area/porous electrodes, and optionally organosilicon separators. Electrodes are formed from high surface area material (such as porous carbon nanotubes or carbon nanof ibers) , which has been impregnated with the electrolyte. These type devices appear particularly suitable for use in electric and hybrid electric vehicles .
