Supercapacitor
Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors or electrochemical capacitors, are energy storage devices that store and release energy through the electrostatic separation of charges.
SuperCapacitors are a valuable technology for providing a unique combination of characteristics, particularly very high pulse power and
Supercapacitors combine the electrostatic principles associated with capacitors and the electrochemical nature of batteries.
Instead of using a conventional dielectric, supercapacitors use two mechanisms to store electrical energy: double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance.
Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors. They deliver rapid, reliable

A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits. It bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries. It typically stores 10 to 100 times more energy per unit mass or energy per unit volume than electrolytic capacitors, can accept and deliver charge much faster than batteries, and tolerates many more charge and discharge cycles
