Fringe-field capacitor electrode for electrochemical device

摘要: The invention features an electrochemical device which includes at least two capacitor electrodes 16 , each of a conductive material characterized in that ten percent (10%) the overall surface area is edge plane. In contrast to basal plane, electric field along plane distorted so as exhibit ‘edge effect or ‘fringe effect. Capacitor with many edges, points, corners, fractal surfaces greater capacitance per unit volume mass amount electrode material, than do materials predominately An can be, for example, cell, e.g., battery, capacitor, flow-through capacitor.
