Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) with tetramethylammonium bis(oxalato)borate electrolyte and electrodes based on various activated carbons (ACs) was studied. Tetraalkylammonium bis(oxalate)borate salts were synthesized by means of microwave (MW) irradiation. The specific conductivities of salt solutions were determined. It was shown that the efficiency of electric double layer capacitors increases with an increase in specific surface area and a decrease in the purity of carbon materials.
