18th International Seminar on Double Layer Capacitors and Hybrid Energy Storage

Deerfield Beach, Florida USA

December 8-10, 2008

As it has for the last 18 years this, the original supercapacitor seminar, will focus on the continuing progress of the development of electrochemical capacitors and hybrid energy storage devices. Papers will address such topics as electrochemical double layer phenomena, materials and systems, use of faradayic and nonfaradayic electrodes in high pulsing power applications, the use of electrochemical capacitors in support of other energy generating devices (wind generators and internal combustion engines), and the application of electrochemical capacitors in hybrid arrangements with fuel cell engines for electric vehicles, among others.
