Registration and filing of supercapacitors for communication base stations

The current energy stored of commercially available supercapacitors is today relatively low up to 5Wh/kg. There are basically two types of the electrolyte- 1) lower Capacitance and lower ESR aqueous based or 2) higher capacitance, higher ESR polymer electrolyte based.

A broader application range would also be possible with low temperature low ESR supercapacitors (e.g. for deep space missions) or with high temperature long-term stable supercapacitors (for memory and clock backup). The TRL of the developed BOSC can be considered to be 6.

2. Supercapacitors Supercapacitors (SCs)26are considered energy storage devices that display an electrochemical performance between that of traditional capacitors27,28 and batteries,29satisfying the ever increasing demand for providing power in electronics and industrial applications.

The studies reported have demonstrated the successful use of supercapacitors, in the power supply and/or the hybrid power supply of several classical spacecrafts' applications (high-power LIDAR, radars and high-power actuators) and of two functions of launchers (pyrotechnics and EMTVC).

Drastic gain in mass are expected by using 10 F to 100 F supercapacitor cells assembled in packs and used as single power source or combined with battery pack to build a hybrid power system. COTS supercapacitors: interest and suitability for space applications.

Supercapacitors (SCs) display intrinsic advantages such as high power density and high rate capability but low energy density. Thus, the development of advanced pseudocapacitive electrode materials is crucial for the advancement of supercapacitor technologies.
