A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC or LiC) is a hybrid type of capacitor classified as a type of supercapacitor. It is called a hybrid because the anode is the same as those used in lithium-ion batteries and the cathode is the same as those used in supercapacitors. Activated carbon is typically used as the cathode. The anode of the. In 1981, Dr. Yamabe of Kyoto University, in collaboration with Dr. Yata of Kanebo Co., created a material known as PAS (polyacenic semiconductive) by pyrolyzing phenolic resin at 400–700. , and LICs each have different strengths and weaknesses, making them useful for different categories of applications. Energy storage devices are characterized by three main criteria: power density (in W/kg), energy density (in W⋅h/kg) and cycle life. A lithium-ion capacitor is a hybrid electrochemical energy storage device which combines the mechanism of a anode with the double-layer. Typical properties of an LIC are• high capacitance compared to a capacitor, because of the large anode, though low capacity compared to a Li-ion cell Lithium-ion capacitors are fairly suitable for applications which require a high energy density, high power densities and excellent durability.
