Abstract:

Self-discharge is a vital function of lithium-ion capacitors. Based on electrochemical theory and practical application, we study the voltage-holding capacity (K value) of lithium-ion capacitors at 3.8 V and 3 V, the results show that the K value range of lithium ion capacitor is 0.0037~0.0102 V/day at 3.8 V and -0.0003~0.0007 V/day at 3 V. The K value at 3.8 V can be used to detect the self-discharge performance of the cells more efficiency. For the purpose of improve the self-discharge detecting efficiency, and propose a method for detecting the self-discharge performance of lithium-ion capacitors (leakage capacity method) for the first time, verified by experiments. when testing the self-discharge performance of lithium-ion capacitors, the voltage holding capacity method usually needs dozens of hours, while the leakage capacity method can complete the detection within 1 hour, and its self-discharge detection efficiency is higher. The leakage capacity method can quickly and accurately detect and judge the self-discharge performance of lithium-ion capacitors.
