Selected Category：Supercapacitors
Supercapacitors utilize a phenomenon in which electric charges are oriented at the extremely thin boundary between the electrolyte and the electrodes (electric double-layer) to physically store electric charge.

- Precaution
Store supercapacitors in a controlled indoor location. If capacitors have been left for a long period of time, check their characteristics before use.

- Precaution
When connecting supercapacitors in series, insert a voltage balancing circuit in parallel with the supercapacitors to suppress voltage imbalance among them.

The activated carbon in supercapacitors is deposited on aluminum foil and used as electrodes.
The current collector in a supercapacitor conducts the charged electrical charge to the collector terminal.
The electrolyte in supercapacitors is a conductive liquid which affects properties such as internal resistance and withstand voltage.
The separator in supercapacitors prevents the anode and cathode from coming into contact and shorting. They also ensure that the electrolyte stays evenly distributed. Nippon Chemi-Con uses electrolytic paper.
When designing circuits for use with supercapacitors, please consider control methods, fail safes, and behavior during malfunctions.
