<p>The present invention provides a charge storage device, comprising a pair of electrodes, each electrode being operable to store electric charge and having a respective capacitance CP, CN that is different to the other, with the ratio of the capacitances CP/CN being greater than 1. In exemplary embodiments, the charge storage device may be an asymmetrical supercapacitor, which is operable to provide an enhanced energy capacity by increasing the cell voltage through unequalising the electrode capacitance. Hence, by increasing the CP/CN ratio an improved power capability can be achieved over conventional devices, while offering a simple and low cost manufacturing strategy. The present invention has particular application with cameras, electric vehicles, elevators, renewable energy stores, fuel cells, batteries and many forms of electronic devices.</p> |
