Supercapacitor (ionistor) — promising storage energy and current source. According to its technical characteristics , it occupies an intermediate the position between rechargeable batteries and traditional capacitors. In a supercapacitor, the charge accumulates due to the formation of a double electric layer on the surface of the electrode as a result of the adsorption of ions from electrolytes.

 

Another important advantage is a huge resource. Lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries have a decrease in capacity relative to the original values are observed after several hundred charge-discharge cycles. And supercapacitors they can withstand up to one million cycles without noticeable degradation.

Ionistors are used as a power source in ground-based transport. Also in consumer electronics, when you need to charge your device quickly. For example, in players, flashlights, flashlights, counters, laser cancer detectors, in launchers internal combustion engine devices, etc.
