specific energy

The review of modern scientific and technical literature on supercapacitors produced by industrial companies is presented. The advantages of supercapacitors compared to batteries are: high power density, high cycleability, the ability to operate at extreme temperatures from –50 to +60°C, energy efficiency up to 100% and the ability to charge in a very short time.

To model the characteristics of lithium-sulfur batteries based on the experimental evaluation of the electrochemical properties of electrode materials, the software "Battery Designer", included in the software package “ElChemLab”, was developed. The possibilities of software are described. The specific energy of lithium-sulfur batteries is compared for different surface capacitances of a positive electrode and for different amounts of electrolyte.
