Effect of electrode mass ratio on aging of activated carbon based supercapacitors utilizing organic electrolytes
a b s t r a c t
The accelerated degradation of carbon based supercapacitors utilizing 1MEt4NBF4 in acetonitrile and in
propylene carbonate as electrolyte is investigated for a constant cell voltage of 3.5V as a function of the positive over total electrode mass ratio. The degradation rate of the supercapacitor using acetonitrile as a solvent can be decreased by increasing the mass of the positive electrode. With a mass ratio (positive electrode mass/total electrode mass) of 0.65 the degradation rate is minimum. For the capacitor utilizing propylene carbonate as a solvent a similar effect was observed. The degradation rate was smallest for a mass ratio above 0.5.
