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 second quarter, we have continued our efforts on Task IA of the Work Plan. Specifically we have 1) fabricated noble metal oxides fo the RuOx type into electrodes, 2) formed metal oxide-Nafion electrode composites, 3) integrally bonded Nafion membranes to composite electrode structures, 4) constructed electrode holders for properly gasketing these electrodes during testing, and 5) begun to set up an AC impedance test system for characterizing the response of these electrodes.
