Structure and Characteristics of Wet Tantalum Electrolytic Capacitors

Wet tantalum electrolytic capacitors have excellent electrical performance. Among all electrolytic capacitors, the leakage current is the smallest, the product of CU per unit volume (the product of capacitor and rated voltage) is the largest, which is more than 5 times larger than that of the same volume and other capacitors. Therefore, they are widely used in the electronic circuits for computers...

Stretchable supercapacitors to power tomorrow's wearable devices

Story Source: sciencedaily Researchers at Duke University and Michigan State University have engineered a novel type of supercapacitor that remains fully functional even when stretched to eight times its original size. It does not exhibit any wear and tear from being stretched repeatedly and loses only a few percentage points of energy performance after 10,000 cycles of charging and dischargi...

Super capacitors used in smart water meters

Smart water meter is commonly install lithium batteries inside to turn on and off the water valve.Lithium batteries are with light weight, high energy and low self discharge rate.However, the batteries have to be replaced when power run off after a certain period of time and can not provide energy for the control circuit,because there is no recharging circuit in the smart water meter.It is a tedio...

Brazil Breaks Key Oil Production Milestone

Brazil’s crude oil production in November topped 3 million barrels per day for the first time ever, the National Petroleum Agency reported, adding that total oil and gas production rose to 3.95 million barrels of oil equivalent daily - also a record-breaking figure. The strong output result came on the back of ongoing ramp-up of production at eight new floating production, storage, and offloading ...
