How to characterize the pore structure of capacitors

6 FAQs about [How to characterize the pore structure of capacitors]

Does pore size affect capacitance?

Although the ESDCC model is a more sophisticated approach to describe the influence of the pore size on capacitance, the assumed pore geometries (slit-shaped pores and cylindrical pores) are rather simple considering the complex structure of activated carbons. As a result, some simulated values can deviate from the measured values.

How does pore size affect electrolyte ion capacitance?

The electrolyte ion is centred between the pore walls and with increasing pore size the distance to the pore walls and thus the thickness of the double layer increases, which leads to a lower capacitance. Full accessibility of solvated TEA + ions may lead to a slight increase for pores from 1.30 to 1.83 nm.

Why is carbon pore size important for supercapacitors?

In addition, the size and shape of the carbon pores are critical for the low-temperature performance of supercapacitors. This is because the interactions between carbon pore walls and the electrolyte affect its freezing/melting behavior and consequently the operation at sub-ambient conditions.

Do pores contribute to a non-constant capacitive contribution?

We concluded a non-constant capacitive contribution, with pores having the size of bare cations contributing to the capacitance to a larger extent and mesopores with the size of three solvated ions providing an unusual low contribution to the overall capacitance.

Why are carbon pores important in electrochemical capacitors & supercapacitors?

In the case of electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors, carbon pores play an important role in determining energy and power performance. Depending on the activation conditions, these pores exist in several configurations and architectures (e.g., narrow, wide, bottle-necked, elongated or conical).

Which pore capacitance is associated with specific pore resistance?

Therefore, while Cmicro, Cmeso, and Cmacro are the specific pore capacitances (F cm −2), we have that Rmicro, Rmeso, and Rmacro are the associated specific pore resistances (Ω cm 2) due to the ionic species enclosed by the pore structures.
