Electric Double-layer Capacitors
Supercapacitors or electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) have the ability to store charge by using ion rearrangements in electrolytes and ion adsorption into electrode surfaces. Their main advantages are longer cycling life, broad process temperature range, and advanced power density in comparison to batteries. Most recently, the developments of nanostructured carbon-based electrodes indicated a tremendous boost in the energy density of supercapacitors.
Especially, molecular modeling of electrolytes and charged electrode surfaces has brought key understanding into the charge storage at the nanoscale from the aspects of mechanisms of ion adsorption, dynamics at electrode surfaces, and inside nanopores, and effects of curvature, roughness in electrode.
Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are decently suitable for the investigation of non-faradaic processes including the ion rearrangements within the EDLC structure.
