Abstract
Activated carbons have been used for a long time in many industrial applications. One of the recent applications is using activated carbon as an active electrode material in double-layer capacitors (DLC). Electrochemical capacitors, based on the capacity of the double layer formed at the carbon/electrolyte interface, have received considerable attention as they can be used as high power-density energy-storage devices. Batteries have high energy density, but they suffer from low power density and low cyclability (usually <1000). On the other hand, electrochemical capacitors offer an order of magnitude higher power density and at least two orders of magnitude higher number of charge-discharge cycles (~100 000). However, the energy density is an order of magnitude lower in comparison to that characteristic for batteries.
