Electrolytic double layer capacitor

摘要

A double layer electrolytic capacitor of two electrodes each in contact with a common electrolyte. At least one of the electrodes is comprised of a crystalline material characterized by the presence of van der Waals channels in the material. These van der Waals channels are adapted to accommodate the electrolyte within the channels, such that a double layer of charge is formed at interfaces of the van der Waals channels and the electrolyte when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes.
