Download or read book Electrochemical Capacitors and Hybrid Power Batteries 2008 written by P. Simon and published by The Electrochemical Society. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrochemical capacitors in part or in whole on the electrical double later at electrode interfaces have found application in a variety of energy storage applications. Paper for the symposium are solicited that cover all fundamental and practical aspects of ultracapacitors, supercapacitors, and similar electrochemical energy conversion devices, including: 1) double layer and/or pseudo-capacitance of carbons, conducting polymers, and advanced inorganic materials, 2) synthesis and characterization of high surface area materials for electrochemical capacitors, 3) development and optimization of practical ultra- and super-capacitor components, including current collectors, electrodes, electrolytes, separators and packaging, 4) performance of new device designs and construction using symmetric and asymmetric electrode constructions, 5) mathematical models for performance characterization, 6) comparison of energy, power, and lifetime characteristics of hybrid fuel cell and battery power sources utilizing electrochemical capacitors. Keynote speakers will present tutorials covering recent advances and future directions for electrochemical capacitor technology.
