Aerogel Supercapacitors
A Series
Description
The PowerStor Aerogel Capacitor is a unique, ultra-high
capacitance device based on a novel type of carbon foam,
known as carbon aerogel. Aerogel capacitors are similar to
supercapacitors, ultracapacitors and electrochemical double
layer capacitors (EDLCs) with the added benefit of low ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance).
Features & Benefits
•Very low ESR
•Low leakage current
•Long cycle life
•High useable capacity
•Ver y high specific capacitance
also available (B Series)
Applications
•Pulse power
•Hold-up power
•DC/DC converters
•Hybrid battery packs
•Valve / solenoid actuation
