Ways to form electrodes for supercapacitors with aqueous and organic electrolytes and specific features of these methods

Abstract

Two methods (spraying and calendering) for fabrication of supercapacitor electrodes are considered. Results of tests of double-layer capacitors with aqueous (sulfuric acid) and organic (tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate dissolved in acetonitrile) electrolytes and electrodes fabricated from activated carbon are presented. It is shown that, depending on the type of the electrolyte, it is necessary to use different methods for fabrication of carbon electrodes.
