Advanced Double Layer Capacitor

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to develop electrochemical capacitors utilizing an electrode-solid ionomer electrolyte composite. An advantage of these devices over conventional double layer capacitors would be the absence of free liquid electrolyte and thus greater safety and reliability. In the first quarter, we have concentrated our efforts on Task IA of the Work Plan. Specifically we have 1) fabricated are fabricated noble metal oxides of the RuO(x) type are fabricated into electrodes and a laboratory test cell is constructed to determine which electrode structures are the most promising. In addition, several methods of forming catalyst-ionomer composites are investigated.
