Modeling of Asymmetric Supercapacitor Cells Based on Electrode’s Laboratorial Tests Data

Abstract

This paper concerns the modeling of asymmetric supercapacitor cells based on electrode’s data obtained
throughout laboratorial tests, such as hydrogen bubble evolution electrodeposition. The electrode’s data
type here implemented concerns three electrodes system tests, which are designed to provide a single
electrode output. This procedure provides instructions on the extraction of electrodes tests parameters, the
device’s design throughout dimensional basis and comparison with commercially available products and
the estimation of energetic output by forecasting the resulting capacitance, voltage, energy and mass of the
theoretical supercapacitor.

Keywords: Supercapacitor – Energy storage systems – Hybrid supercapacitor
