An exemplar method of recovering a capacitance level of a double layer capacitor is disclosed. Further implementations describe making electrodes and double layer capacitors that provide a recovery of capacitance after that capacitor has undergone a fade in capacitance. In one implementation, for example, methods of treating a double layer capacitor are provided that allow for recovery of capacitance in the double layer capacitor. In these methods, capacitance of the double layer capacitor may be recovered after it has faded. After a double layer capacitor has experienced capacitance fade, the double layer capacitor may be rested in an unloaded condition and/or heated to recover at least a portion of its lost capacitance. Recovering faded capacitance both increases the energy storage capacity available during each charge/discharge cycle of the capacitor and increases the useful life of the double layer capacitor by delaying the capacitance fade below a particular level that is deemed a failure for a particular application.
