Models of capacitor to supercapacitor

Micro and Nano Systems Lab

Embark on a journey through the evolution of energy storage with our demonstration showcasing the transition from a traditional capacitor to a supercapacitor. Capacitors store energy by storing charge on conductive plates, while supercapacitors, or ultracapacitors, use a similar principle but with a much higher capacitance. Through a series of visual aids and practical examples, we'll illustrate the differences in construction, materials, and energy storage mechanisms between these two devices. Witness firsthand the enhanced energy density and rapid charge-discharge capabilities of supercapacitors compared o traditional capacitors. Join us as we explore the innovative technology behind supercapacitors and their potential applications in energy storage and electronics.
