ESSCAP’2008 – Lithium Ion capacitorcharacterization and modeling Abstract To develop electrical busses for applications with a fast recharge system in stations, PVI has been testing some electrical energy components like supercapacitors and batteries with high power density. Neverthless, supercapacitors limit average autonomy between two recharge points, due to their poor energy density. On the other side cycle life of batteries are very dependent on current. To surmount these problems, PVI in collaboration with the FCLAB laboratory and the AMPERE laboratory, are studying Lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) for applications with fast recharge. We take to assess how the storage system meets busses power and energy requirements in heavy electric vehicles. We note that the advantage of LIC technology compared to conventional supercapacitor lies in the fact that the energy density and the nominal voltage are higher. In this study, the Li-ion capacitor is characterized and modelled. The characterization and modelling methods are the same of supercapacitor with double layer activated carbon technology. The LIC efficiency will be discussed. I. INTRODUCTION Lithium Ion capacitor is a new storage device which combines high power density and high energy density compared to conventional supercapacitor of the market. It has four time higher energy density than conventional supercapacitor. The structure of the LIC is composed by two electrodes. The positive one is formed by activated carbon as in double layer capacitor. The negative electrode uses lithium ion doped carbon. This new electrode technology boosts the capacity of the negative electrode and increases the electrical potential difference.The electrolyte is based on the Li Ion. Figure 1 shows the elementary structure of EDLC and Li-ion capacitor structure. It can be seen that the negative LIC electrode is formed by Li doped Carbone. The equivalent capacitance is formed by the positive electrodecapacitance Cdl in series with the
