Why Is It Called a Supercapacitor?

Super capacitor, also known as farad capacitor, electric double layer capacitor, is a new type of energy storage capacitor with high energy storage density and fast charge and discharge. It is between traditional capacitors and rechargeable batteries, so it has not only the ability of chemical batteries but also the discharge power of traditional capacitors, and the discharge power of supercapacitors is higher than that of traditional capacitors.

Why it is called a supercapacitor is because the supercapacitor is a container for storing electric charge, with a large capacitance and a fast charging speed. Compared with ordinary capacitors, the capacitance of supercapacitors is large, which has reached the farad level, while the capacitance of ordinary capacitors is as small as microfarads.

The porous carbon material used in supercapacitors increases the specific surface area of ​​the structure, the specific surface area increases, and the charges adsorbed on the surface area also increase, thereby expanding the supercapacitor’s power storage capacity, which is the reason for the large capacitance of the supercapacitor.

The porous carbon material used in supercapacitors has excellent electrical conductivity, unimpeded charge transfer, and no chemical reaction occurs during the process of power storage, so supercapacitors charge quickly.

Supercapacitors are suitable for fast-charging electronic products, and can be used as backup reserve power in various large electronic devices. A supercapacitor is a good choice if you need a high-power, high-capacitance, fast-discharging capacitor.

Select a reliable manufacturer when purchasing supercapacitors can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. JYH HSU (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronics) not only has full models of ceramic capacitors with guaranteed quality, but also offers worry-free after-sales. JEC factories has passed ISO9001:2015 quality management system certification; JEC safety capacitors (X capacitors and Y capacitors) and varistors have passed the certification of various countries; JEC ceramic capacitors, film capacitors and super capacitors are in line with low carbon indicators.
