When looking at energy and energy-storage applications, a case can be made that capacitors are the “unsung heroes” of the field. As passive devices, these two-terminal electrical components store ...

A supercapacitor is a double-layer capacitor that has very high capacitance but low voltage limits. Supercapacitors store more energy than electrolytic capacitors and they are rated in farads (F).

Mechanical engineers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and four other institutions have designed a super-efficient and long-lasting electrode for supercapacitors.

Supercapacitors provide you with design options for power holdup, power bridging, pulse-power support, and more. For hands-on supercapacitor experience, Cooper Electronic Technologies offers design ...

In their simplest form, capacitors hold an electric charge. Capacitors use parallel plates separated by a dielectric material—which can be as simple as paper, plastic, or even air. They emit current ...
