Carbon derived from coconut husks can power supercapacitors, find researchers

Capacitor:- a capacitor is a device that is used for storing electrical energy inside an electric field and using that stored energy later on for different purposes in the devices

Types of Capacitors

• Supercapacitor
• Electrolytic capacitor
• Silver Mica capacitor
• Film and Paper capacitors
• Ceramic capacitors

Supercapacitor:- A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits. It bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries.

Supercapacitor technologies vs. batteries

• Batteries have a high energy density but low power density (slower energy discharge), making them suitable for long-term applications where a consistent, slow release of energy is needed.
• Supercapacitors have a lower energy density but a higher power density (faster energy discharge). As a result, they cannot store as much energy as batteries but can be charged and discharged much faster. This property makes them more suitable for applications in which quick bursts of energy are needed and where they can be readily recharged.
