I am currently learning about super capacitors.I am unable to find a proper book which contains a detailed description about super capacitors.can anybody please help??(give me the link if possilble or the name of the book if not the link)
Development of super capacitors are latest and there may not be much books published but study papers and science reports must be available . Super capacitors are electrical storage devices that can deliver a huge amount of energy in a short time. Hybrid-electric and fuel-cell powered vehicles need such a surge of energy to start, more than can be provided by regular batteries. Super capacitors are also needed in a wide range of electronic and engineering applications, wherever a large, rapid pulse of energy is required. So there is lot of scope in this field of development.
2006 Researchers at MIT's Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems (LEES), succeeded in development of enhanced double layer capacitors with major performance improvements. If you obtain their research papers probably you can get better idea.
News release issued on this subject by University Of California can give further information on this subject.
Thank you for the information on super capacitors.As you told,we have seen the LEES site and we could beget some valuable information.I would like to know if you worked on them and have any practical knowledge about them.If yes,you can be very helpful to us.
We are right now working on them and are really fascinated at the wide range of applications it has.We would like to know whether they are available in Indian markets or not and their cost range.We know for sure that Maxwell Technologies is manufacturing them but their availlabilty has been a problem for us.
