Parallel plate-type capacitors have the advantage of high voltage resistance, but are limited by low capacitance. An electric double-layer capacitor with a composite structure using a solid polymer electrolyte matrix with a glass fiber fabric separator has recently been developed. However, the solid polymer electrolyte caused the capacitor to possess high internal resistance. In the present study, a new design of supercapacitor using a form core sandwich with high water retention is proposed and experimentally investigated. Activated carbon sheets are used as electrodes on the form core sandwich to make a supercapacitor. Woven carbon fabric is used as lead wires of the supercapacitor. The resulting supercapacitor displays a low surface resistance of 810 Ωcm2 and high areal capacitance of 520 mF/cm2.展开更多
