Diagnostics, measurement and control of electrical parameters supercapacitors

This article considers possible approaches to diagnostics and measurement electrical parameters of supercapacitors. The analysis the results of diagnostics and measurement the parameters of supercapacitors has determined a significant frequency dependence of theirs. The discrepancy between the two-element equivalent circuit of supercapacitors has been established. Diagnostics and control electrical parameters of supercapacitors in the infralow frequency range can be performed by direct conversion methods. In this case, high-precision low-resistance resistors can be used as an exemplary measure. For the diagnostics and design of meters for the electrical parameters of supercapacitors of capacitors, the authors propose an iterative-recursive method for determining the numerical values of the electrical parameters of the equivalent circuit of such objects. The essence of the proposed iterative-recursive method is that at the first stage, the iterative approximation determines the number of n-absorption links, which it is enough to know when developing, manufacturing and operating supercapacitors. Theoretical and experimental studies of the equivalent circuit of supercapacitors show that the equivalent resistance of such capacitors and their capacitance increase with decreasing frequency of the measuring signal, and the nature of these dependences is determined by the number of n-absorption links and the numerical values of the elements of each link.

Non-Debye relaxation and resonance phenomena in dielectric spectra of CaCu3Ti4O12 family functional ceramic materials

Experimental data on dielectric spectra of calcium copper titanate, CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) family functional ceramics have been studied and analyzed. It is shown that there are both non-Debye relaxation and resonance regions in their spectra. An occurrence of a retardation of complex permittivity and a relaxation of electric modulus is established. An average relaxation frequency of the electric modulus is considerably (in some cases several orders of magnitude) larger than the retardation frequency of the permittivity. A parallel connection of the capacity and complex conductivity is used to model and interpret experimental data on a negative permittivity in the infralow frequency range. Computer simulation enables us to reveal that the hopping conductivity, characteristic for disordered heterogeneous systems, is to be taken into account to describe adequately experimental data on passing the real part of the capacity (or permittivity) through zero. We have found a critical frequency at which the parallel resonance would take place.
