Makers are growing the line to take advantage of a widening application base in the consumer electronics, medical, energy, industrial and vehicle sectors.
China suppliers offer supercapacitors with rated capacitance ranging from 0.1 to 10,000F to suit various applications.
According to the electrolytes adopted, there are organic and inorganic series. The former comes with a rated voltage of 2.5 or 2.7V, and inorganic counterparts usually 1.5V. Organic units boast greater energy density as these operate at a higher voltage. They lead supply.
A further classification is by construction, and covers coin-shaped, winding and modular varieties. The first utilizes lamination manufacturing method, and comes mainly with 0.1 to 4F and 5.5V rated capacitance and voltage.
Winding models have 0.1 to 3,000F and 2.5 or 2.7V rated capacitance and voltage.
Modular configurations are in specifications based on custom requirements.
Winding types make up more than 70 percent of production value.
The choices in terms of terminals are lead, snap, radial tab and threaded.
The carbon electrode materials utilized by suppliers are activated, activated fiber, carbide-derived, aerogel, graphene and nanotubes. For electrolytes, there are aqueous and organic.
As for separators, the main options include polymeric film, polyacrylonitrile and Kapton.
China makers source most of these key production inputs from Japan, South Korea and US providers. They obtain the rest such as aluminum housing materials locally.
Prices are anticipated to continue decreasing at an annual rate of 10 percent.
Here is a selection of supercapacitors:
