Testing of double-layer capacitors for high reliabilityapplications

摘要

Technologies that use carbon and mixed metal oxides as theelectrode material have been pursued for the purpose of producinghigh-reliability double-layer capacitors (DLCs). The author demonstratestheir environmental stability in temperature, shock, vibration, andlinear acceleration. She reviews the available test data for both typesof DLCs under these stress conditions. This study suggests that mixedmetal oxides and carbon-based double-layer capacitors can survive robustenvironments if packaged properly, and that temperature decreasesperformance of double-layer capacitors
