Abstract:

Degradation of supercapacitor (SC) is analyzed by accelerated aging test. Evolution of SC parameters is determined before the aging test, and during up to 8 x 105 cycles of both 75% and 100% energy cycling. Capacitance fading, equivalent series resistance (ESR) increase, and leakage current trend are analyzed for off-the-shelf CapXX SC.

Presented model consists of five parameters. These are Helmholtz and diffuse double layer capacitance, responsible for SC overall capacity. Next there is time dependent resistance in between Helmholtz and diffuse capacitance. And an ordinary ESR, and resistance responsible for SCs leakage current. Fading of both capacitance is modeled by exponential equation. Increase of ESR AC component is modeled by linear function.
