Parasitic Reactions in an Electrochemical Capacitor

Application ID: 96921


This model illustrates the effect of oxygen and hydrogen formation and recombination on the performance and self-discharge of an electrochemical capacitor with a water-based electrolyte.

A load cycle consisting of mixed constant current pulses and rest periods at an open circuit is studied.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
