Dublin, Oct. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2lcq8l/ultra_capacitor)
has announced the addition of the
"Ultra Capacitor - Recent Technology and Market Forecast
(2020)" report to their offering.
An ultra capacitor is called different names such as super
capacitor, electro-chemical capacitor, and EDLC (Electric Double
Layer Capacitor). However, ultra capacitors are divided into EDLCs
using charge absorption of electrical double layers, pseudo
capacitors using the redox reaction, and hybrid capacitors using
both mechanisms.
The concept of storing electrical energy in the electrical double
layer formed at the electrode/electrolyte interface has been known
since the late 1800s. The first electrical storage device using the
electric double layer was reported by H.I Becker Becker of General
Electric (U.S. Patent 2,800,616). After that, Robert A. Rightmire,
chemistry at the Standard Oil Company of Ohio (SOHIO) invented a
device in the format that can commonly be used, and filed a patent
on the invention (US3,288,641) in 1962, which was granted on
November, 1966. It is Donald L. Boos of SOHIO that has formed the
basis for the electro-chemical capacitor technology by filing a
follow-on patent (U.S. 3,536,963). In 1977, NEC commercialized its
super capacitor for back-up power devices for volatile clock chips
and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) computer
memories through years of design modification. This led to
commercialization of electro-chemical capacitors, and for 35 years,
there have been various technological innovations and
applications.
The ultra capacitor market has grown through application to
consumer electronics. The most typical case is mobile phone
applications such as memories and time clocks. Based on these
applications, the global
ultra capacitor market recorded 480 billion won in 2011.
However, it is expected that the market growth will be led by
transportation applications in the future, reaching 840 billion won
in 2015 and 1 trillion 250 billion won in 2012 at the annual growth
rate of 11.3%.
Ultra capacitors can be divided into ultra-small, small, medium,
large, and extra large size according to capacitance. The
ultra-small and small product ( less than 1F) markets are expected
to grow slightly, but the medium and large product (more than 1F)
markets will grow. It is also expected that the ultra-large product
market (more than 1000F) will grow rapidly especially in the field
of transportation.
This report provide comprehensive data about ultra capacitors. To
forecast the recent trend in material compositions, newest
materials, latest technologies by capacitor type, business trends
of major ultra capacitor manufacturers in the world, and ultra
capacitor markets, almost all ultra capacitor products are examined
and the market survey and forecasts for each product are
provided.
