DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The BCAP0005 P300 X11 energy storage cell is a robust ultracapacitor
solution in a leaded cylindrical style can. The 3.0V 5F cell design uses
Maxwell’s proprietary XPTM high heat and humidity environmental technology
to provide maximum life under adverse conditions.
Ultracapacitor Energy = ½ CV2
Technology Overview
Ultracapacitor, also known as supercapacitor or electric double layer capacitor
(EDLC), delivers energy at relatively high rates (beyond those accessible
with batteries). Ultracapacitors store charge electrostatically (non-Faradaic)
by reversible adsorption of the electrolyte onto electrochemically stable high
surface area carbon electrodes. Charge separation occurs on polarization at
the electrode/electrolyte interface, producing a double layer. This mechanism
is highly reversible, allowing the ultracapacitor to be charged and discharged
hundreds of thousands of times.*
Ultracapacitor Construction
An ultracapacitor is constructed with symmetric carbon positive and negative
electrodes separated by an insulating ion-permeable separator and packaged
into a container filled with organic electrolyte (salt/solvent) designed to
maximize ionic conductivity and electrode wetting. It is the combination of high
surface-area activated carbon electrodes (typically >1500m2/g) with extremely
small charge separation (Angstroms) that results in high capacitance.
*Results may vary. Additional terms and conditions, including the limited warranty, apply at the time of purchase.
