Abstract
Devices which internally control and regulate voltage of a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof during charge-discharge cycles, methods for controlling and regulating voltage of a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof with these devices and methods for production of the devices are provided.
Claims17
1:
- A device which internally controls and regulates voltage of a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof during charge-discharge cycles, said device comprising:
- a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof, said super-capacitor cell comprising a top current collector, a top super-capacitor electrode, a super-capacitor electrolyte membrane, a bottom super-capacitor electrode and a bottom current collector;
- and
- an energy source internally connected to the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof.
1 more element
2:
- The device of claim 1 wherein the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof and the energy source are connected in parallel between the top current collector and the bottom current collector of said super-capacitor cell or stack thereof.
3:
- The device of claim 1 wherein an air gap or insulating material separate the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof from the energy source.
4:
- The device of claim 1 wherein the top super-capacitor electrode, the super-capacitor electrolyte membrane, and the bottom super-capacitor electrode of the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof are embedded within the energy source between the top current collector and the bottom current collector of said super-capacitor cell or stack thereof.
5:
- The device of claim 1 wherein the energy source is a battery, a fuel cell or a solar cell or any combination thereof.
6:
- The device of claim 1 which is manufactured by a coating method.
7:
- A method for internal voltage regulation and balancing of a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof, said method comprising internally connecting components of a super-capacitor cell, said components comprising a top current collector, a top super-capacitor electrode, a super-capacitor electrolyte membrane, a bottom super-capacitor electrode and a bottom current collector or a super-capacitor stack thereof with an energy source.
8:
- The method of claim 7 wherein the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof and the energy source are connected in parallel.
9:
- The method of claim 7 wherein an air gap or insulating material separate the super-capacitor cell or stack from the energy source.
10:
- The method of claim 7 wherein the top super-capacitor electrode, the super-capacitor electrolyte membrane, and the bottom super-capacitor electrode of the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof are embedded within the energy source between the top current collector and the bottom current collector of said super-capacitor cell or stack thereof.
11:
- The method of claim 7 wherein the energy source is a battery, a fuel cell or a solar cell or any combination thereof.
12:
- The method of claim 7 wherein the components of the super-capacitor cell or stack are internally connected with energy source by a coating method.
13:
- A method for manufacturing a device which controls and regulates internally voltage of a super-capacitor cell or stack thereof during charge-discharge cycles, said method comprising coating components of the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof in connection internally with components of an energy source.
14:
- The method of claim 13 wherein the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof are coated parallel with the energy source.
15:
- The method of claim 13 wherein an air gap or insulating material separate the super-capacitor cell or stack from the energy source.
16:
- The method of claim 13 wherein the top super-capacitor electrode, the super-capacitor electrolyte membrane, and the bottom super-capacitor electrode of the super-capacitor cell or stack thereof are embedded within the energy source between the top current collector and the bottom current collector of said super-capacitor cell or stack thereof.
17:
- The method of claim 13 wherein the energy source is a battery, a fuel cell or a solar cell or any combination thereof.
