Abstract

We present results on an aqueous symmetric double layer electrochemical capacitor (EDLC) constructed with a flexible binder-free single wall carbon (SWCNTs) membrane as electrodes. The capacitors were cycled from 0 to IV @ 10 A/g for 10,000 cycles with 99.9% coulombic efficiency and 94% energy efficiency, and 100% depth of discharge. The power performance of the aqueous symmetric SWCNTs membrane capacitor is almost 100 -1000 times better than commercial non-aqueous EDLC capacitors.
