ECCAP Symposium
Large EC Capacitor Technology and Application
Session 1:
Advances in EC Capacitor Materials and Cell Design
Tuesday June 7, am
To enhance the value proposition of EC Capacitors by boosting cell performance, improvements in electrode capacity, power performance, electrolyte properties, electrode technology, and cell design are desired. In this session, we review the latest advances in materials, including the development of low-cost materials and processes to meet the pricing threshold of most markets, and in cell designs, including development of advanced asymmetric ECs:
How to Increase Specific Energy of Electrochemical Capacitors
Rüdiger Kötz, Professor, Group Leader Capacitors, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland
Advanced Carbons for Electrochemical Capacitors
Yury Gogotsi, Professor, Department of Materials Engineering, Drexel University
Microporous Carbons for Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
Patrice Simon, Professor, Université Paul Sabatier, France
Electrochemical Activation of Soft Carbons for Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
Masayuki Morita, Professor, Yamaguchi University, Japan
Activated Carbon Spheres Prepared from Hydrothermal Synthesis of Biomass Waste
Stephen Lipka, Research Scientist, University of Kentucky
Recent Advances in Li-Ion-Based Hybrid Capacitors
Katsuhiko Naoi, Professor, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan
Recent Advances in Aqueous Symmetric and Asymmetric Electrochemical Capacitors
François Béguin, Professor, CNRS University, Orléans,France
In this session we review new capacitor products and EC business development. Leaders from key companies will discuss future products and business strategies as they expand their product offerings to support growth of energy-efficient industrial, utility, and transportation-related energy storage systems.
EC Capacitor modules are designed to optimally meet energy-storage requirements of specific applications at the highest level of reliability and lowest possible cost. In some applications, the EC Capacitor is the only energy-storage technology used while in others it is combined with power generation or battery storage. We review in this session EC module design and system engineering to meet performance goals of key applications, including those related to transportation, to industrial energy conservation, and to the utility grid.
