The problem with "Super capacitor" was that the internal resistance was too high. In other words, if this internal resistance could be reduced, the amount of electric current would increase and the scope of applications would also significantly grow.
Through consequent research, it was found that the reason the internal resistance of "Super capacitor" was high had to do with the fact that the active carbon electrode was manufactured in a crimping process. This method was simple and advantageous as a manufacturing process, but detailed analysis revealed that there were numerous gaps between the active carbon particles and that this was the main cause of the resistance.
For this reason, technology to minimize these gaps by the optimum composition of the active carbon particles was developed. Fabricated using this method, "Super capacitor" is capable of storing an even larger capacity of electricity than previous devices. At the same time, "Super capacitor" has reduced internal resistance so that it is capable of exchanging electricity at high speeds in the order of milli-seconds and has been reborn as a completely new energy device.
"Super capacitor" differs from batteries that produce electricity through chemical alterations. It is a box for storing electricity, in other words, a capacitor. Accordingly, "Super capacitor" will show very little degradation regardless of the number of times it is charged and discharged, and is capable of being operated in harsh environments without affecting performance. This has brought about great expectation that "Super capacitor" will be used in a variety of applications as a device that supplements situations in which batteries do not adapt well.
