A supercapacitor or ultracapacitor or electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC), is an energy storage device that bridges the gap between traditional capacitors and rechargeable batteries. It offers high power density and fast energy discharge and recharge capabilities. This capacitor is different from traditional capacitors and batteries due to its unique design and performance characteristics and is distinguished by its high capacitance value. Supercapacitors are used in various applications where rapid energy storage and release are critical such as renewable energy systems, the automotive industry and consumer electronics.
