EDLC (Electric Double Layer Capacitors) or super capacitors can be tested by Neware BTS4000, and the clamps are allowed to be customized for testing super capacitors , and the polymer clamps can be used as well. The equation of calculating the super capacitance： Calculating Steps： Firstly, the ultra capacitor voltage’s range should be set in Cycle Layer of Parameter Setting

About DCIR(direct current internal resistance), we care about the discharge internal resistance instead of charge. According to IEC standard, DCIR values can be tested by two steps of discharge which are 1C discharge for 1 seconds and 0.1C discharge for 10 second. Here, using C-Rate or without using C-Rate, we can differentiate two methods to calculate the value of DCIR.

University of Birmingham scientists are paving the way to swap the lithium in lithium-ion batteries with sodium, according to research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are rechargeable and are widely used in laptops, mobile phones and in hybrid and fully electric vehicles. The electric vehicle is a crucial technology for fighting pollution in cities

A three-dimensional cross-linked polymer sponge attaches to the metal plating of a lithium ion battery anode, allowing ion transfer and limiting deterioration. Credit: Donghai Wang Dramatically longer-lasting, faster-charging and safer lithium metal batteries may be possible, according to Penn State research, recently published in Nature Energy. The researchers developed a three-dimensional, cross-linked polymer sponge that attaches to the metal plating of
