Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

Experimental electrical double-layer capacitances of porous carbon electrodes fall below ideal values, thus limiting the practical energy densities of carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors.

Since we’re now halfway through the series, it’s probably a good time to look at the nameplate parameter for capacitors – the capacitance itself. In most capacitor applications, such as bypass and ...

Capacitors’ energy density is climbing towards that of batteries by using nanostructured electrodes and new electrolytes. • Supercapacitors store charge when electrolyte ions collect on ...

Kemet Corp. has added the company’s KONNEKT high-density packaging technology to its family of KC-LINK capacitor range to meet growing demand in wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, electric ...
