Double layer capacitors

Compared to standard capacitors, double-layer capacitors, also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are characterized by an extremely high capacitance. They consist of two electrodes that are separated by an ion-conducting electrolyte. In contrast to conventional capacitors, which are based on electrostatic charge, double-layer capacitors store energy in a so-called double layer, which forms at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte.

YEC

YEC began manufacturing aluminium electrolytic capacitors in 1969. The company has been developing double-layer capacitors since 2003. The Taiwanese manufacturer's supercaps compensate for the low high-current capability of batteries, store more energy than lithium batteries in less time and are environmentally friendly. They are used in consumer electronics, AGV/AMR, lighting, photovoltaic systems and electric cars.
