This paper discusses to conduct experimental verification of two types of micro electric vehicles (EV) in order to realize improvement in electric mileage and shorten a charging time of the battery. First, electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) systems to use as a secondary battery are proposed. The internal resistance of EDLC is small compared with a rechargeable battery, and it is suitable for momentary charge-discharge of EV. Next, control circuits of the capacitors to increase the regenerative electric power are utilized. Then, a novel method to charge a main battery of the EV is introduced. Finally, experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

To design the effective usage of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) used for a storage device of dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) energy, we first investigated the accumulation state of electrical charges and the charge behavior in the EDLCs. Based on the results, the voltage characteristics of EDLCs connected to DSC energy were evaluated. The results showed that the charge accumulation region concentrated on the central part of the carbonaceous electrode in EDLCs and the required times for charging and discharging were almost the same.

Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are promising candidates for energy storage devices in electronic applications. An EDLC yields high power density but has low specific capacitance. Carbon material is used in EDLCs owing to its large specific surface area, large pore volume, and good mechanical stability. Consequently, the use of carbon materials for EDLC electrodes has attracted considerable research interest. In this paper, in order to evaluate the electrochemical performance, graphene is used as an EDLC electrode with flake sizes of 3, 12, and 60 nm. The surface characteristic and electrochemical properties of graphene were investigated using SEM, BET, and cyclic voltammetry. The specific capacitance of the graphene based EDLC was measured in a 1 M $TEABF_4/ACN$ electrolyte at the scan rates of 2, 10, and 50 mV/s. The 3 nm graphene electrode had the highest specific capacitance (68.9 F/g) compared to other samples. This result was attributed to graphene's large surface area and meso-pore volume. Therefore, large surface area and meso-pore volume effectively enhances the specific capacitance of EDLCs.

Carbon aerogels are promising materials as electrodes for electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). An optimum process is presented for synthesis of nanoporous carbon aerogels via pyrolyzing resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) organic aerogels, which could be cost-effectively manufactured from RF wet gels. The major reactions between resorcinol and formaldehyde include an addition reaction to form hydroxymethyl derivatives ($-CH_2OH$), and then a condensation reaction of the hydroxymethyl derivatives ($-CH_2-$)- and methylene ether ($-CH_2OCH_2-$) bridged compounds. The textural properties of carbon aerogels obtained were characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis and SEM and TEM. The application of the resultant carbon for electrodes of electric double layers capacitor (EDLC) in organic TEABF4/ACN electrolyte indicated that the ESR, as low as 55 $m{\Omega}$, was smaller than for commercially activated carbons. And EDLC with carbon Aerogel electrodes has an excellent stable more than for commercially activated carbons.

높은 출력의 장점을 가지는 전기이중층 커패시터 (EDLC: electric double layer capacitors)는 이차 전지와 더불어 차세대 에너지 저장장치로서 각광받고 있으나 낮은 에너지 밀도로 인해 그 사용처가 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 EDLC의 에너지 밀도 향상 방법 중의 하나인 고전압화 구현 시 적합한 전해액을 연구하기 위해 AN (acetonitrile)용매에 $SBP-BF_4$ (spirobipyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate), $TEA-BF_4$ (tetraethylammonium tetraflouroborate), $EMI-BF_4$ (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)의 세가지 염을 각각 선정하여 다양한 전해액의 조성에 따른 전기화학 특성을 비교 평가하였다. LSV (linear sweep voltammetry)측정에서 1.5M SBP-BF4/AN 전해액은 넓은 전위영역에서 안정함을 보였고, 고전압의 환경 (3.0 V 이상)에서 다른 조합의 전해액들과 비교하여 가장 우수한 전기화학적 성능을 보였다. 또한, 장기적으로 안정적인 성능을 유지하기 위해 리튬이온전지시스템에서 기능성 첨가제 효과가 입증된 TMSP (tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphite) 첨가제를 적용 했을 때 고전압의 환경 (3.3 V)에서 10,000 cycle 후 93%의 높은 용량 유지율을 얻을 수 있었다.

For the first time, a totally solid state electric double layer capacitor has been fabricated using an alkaline polymer electrolyte and an activated carbon powder as electrode material. The polymer electrolyte serves both as separator as well as electrode binder. The capacitor has a three-layer structure; electrode-electrolyte-electrode. A cyclic voltammetry and constant current discharge have been used for the determination of the electro chemical performance of capacitors.

최근 컴퓨터, 전기, 전자, 통신, 반도체 장비 등의 전기적 외란에 민감한 부하 설비의 사용이 증가함에 따라 전력 품질에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 더 나아가서는 정밀 부하 장비들에 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 순간 전압 강하는 전력 품질 향상을 위해 적정한 보상이 필요하게 된다. 이를 위해 전기 이중층 커패시터 (EDLC : electric double layer capacitor)를 사용한 순간전압강하 보상장치가 개발되어 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 순간전압강하 보상장치 (DVR : dynamic voltage restorer)에 사용되는 전기 이중층 커패시터(EDLC)에 비해 동일 사이즈 대비 에너지 밀도가 높은 하이브리드 커패시터 (hybrid capacitor)를 적용하는 연구를 하였고, 또한, 유도등의 비상 전원으로써 10년 이상의 수명을 보증할 수 있는 제품으로 하이브리드 커패시터 (hybrid capacitor)의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, are being extensively studied due to an increasing demand for energy-storage systems. These devices offer many advantages over conventional secondary batteries, which include the ability of fast charge propagation, long cycle-life and better storage efficiency. That is to say supercapacitor bridges the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries. A new type electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) also called supercapacitors. Recently, supercapacitors concerns about their high power density and energy density. So we experiment with EDLC by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and DAAQ(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) electrode. The electrode for supercapacitor was prepared by synthesis of DAAQ covered CNFs. CNFs could be covered with very thin DAAQ oligomer from the results of CV, XRD, DSC, SEM images, and TEM images. Dissolved electrode active material in NMP solution has been drop-coated on carbon plate. Its electrochemical characteristics were investigated by cyclic voltammograms. And compared with different electrolyte of aqueous type. As a result, CNFs coated by DAAQ composite electrode showed relatively good electrochemical behaviors with respect to specific capacity and scan rate dependency.

In addition to the energy storage facilities based on high power technologies, Electric double layer capacitors(EDLC) are today's candidate for power quality stabilization. However, its low energy density is often inhibiting factor for application of electric power industry. Hybrid supercapacitor is an promising energy storage device that positioned between conventional EDLC and Li-ion battery. This paper describes the preparation and characteristics of a hybrid supercapacitor and module for power quality stabilization. A cylindrical 3200F hybrid supercapacitor ($60{\times}74.5mm$) was assembled by using the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode as an anode and activated carbon as a cathode. It shows 2.5 times higher energy density than conventional EDLC with the same volume. In order to determine the characteristics of the hybrid supercapacitor Module for uninterruptible power supply (UPS), hybrid supercapacitor cells were connected in series with active balancing circuit. At even the high current density of 14A(10C), Module prepared by 18 cells showed the capacitance of 170F at 30~50V, suggesting the applicability for UPS.
