Energy storage devices have received a keen interest throughout the world due to high power consumption. A large number of research activities are being conducted on electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) because of their high power density and higher energy density. In the present study, an EDLC was fabricated using natural graphite based electrodes and ionic liquid (IL) based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The IL based GPE was prepared using the IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (1E3MITF) with the polymer poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the salt magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ - MgTF). GPE was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), DC polarization test, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test and cyclic voltammetry (CV) test. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the sample was 1.64 × 10^-4 Scm^-1. The electrolyte was purely an ionic conductor and the anionic contribution was prominent. Fabricated EDLC was characterized by EIS, CV and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) tests. CV test of the EDLC exhibits a single electrode specific capacitance of 1.44 Fg^-1 initially and GCD test gives 0.83 Fg^-1 as initial single electrode specific discharge capacitance. Moreover, a good stability was observed for prolonged cycling and the device can be used for applications with further modifications.

$Li_2MnSiO_4$ was synthesized using the solid-state method under an Ar atmosphere at three different calcination temperatures (900, 950, and $1000^{\circ}C$). The optimization of the carbon coating was also carried out using various molar concentrations of adipic acid as the carbon source. The XRD pattern confirmed that the resulting $Li_2MnSiO_4$ particles exhibited an orthorhombic structure with a $Pmn2_1$ space group. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to investigate the capacitive behavior of $Li_2MnSiO_4$ along with activated carbon (AC) in a hybrid supercapacitor with a two-electrode cell configuration. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC cell exhibited a high discharge capacitance and energy density of $43.2Fg^{-1}$ and $54Whkg^{-1}$, respectively, at $1.0mAcm^{-2}$. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC hybrid supercapacitor exhibited an excellent cycling stability over 1000 measured cycles with coulombic efficiency over > 99 %. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to corroborate the results that were obtained and described.

Electrode impedances are measured to quantitatively characterize the electrode-electrolyte or cell-electrode interfaces. In the case of high-density microelectrode arrays(MEAs) that have been developed for brainmachine interface applications, the characterization process becomes a repeating and time-consuming task; a system that can perform the measurement and analysis in an automated fashion with accuracy and speed is required. However, due to the large number of channels, parasitic capacitance and off-capacitance components of the switching system become the major factors that decreased the accuracy for the measurement of high impedance microelectrodes. Here we investigated the implementation of automatic impedance measurement system with analyzing the causes of possible measurement-related problems in multichannel switching configuration. Based on our multi-channel measurement circuit model, we suggest solutions to the problems and introduce a novel impedance measurement scheme using electro-mechanical relays. The implemented measurement system could measure |Z| < 700 $k{\Omega}$ of impedance in - 10% errors, which can be widely applicable to high density neural recording MEAs.

$B_2Mg_{2/3}/Nb_{4/3}O_7\;(B_2MN)$ thin films and $Bi_{3/2}MgNb_{3/2}O_7\;(B_{1.5}MN)$ thin films were deposited as a function of various deposition temperatures on Pt/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering system. Both of their thin films are shown to crystalline phase at $500^{\circ}C$, deposition temperature, using 100W RF power. The composition of them and structural micro properties are investigated by RBS spectrum and SEM, AFM. 200 nm-thick $B_2MN$ thin films were deposited at room temperature had capacitance density of $151nF/cm^2$ at 100kHz, dissipation factor of 0.003 and had capacitance density of $584nF/cm^2$ at 100kHz, dissipation factor of 0.0045 at $500^{\circ}C$ deposition temperature. Both of their dielectric constant deposited at room temperature and at $500^{\circ}C$ were each approximately 40 and 100.

This work describes the effect of the number of roll pressing and the composition of carbon black on the electric and mechanical properties of carbon-PTFE electrode, in which composition is MSP 20 : carbon black : PTFE = 95-X : X : 5 wt.%. It was found that the best electric and mechanical properties were obtained for sheet electrode roll pressed about 15 times and for sheet electrode, in which composition is MSP 20 : carbon black : PTFE = 80 : 15 : 5 wt.%. These behaviors could be explained by the network structure of PTFE fibrils and conducting paths linked with carbon blacks, respectively. On the other hand, cell capacitor using the sheet electrode with 15 wt.% of carbon black attached on aluminum current collector with the electric conductive adhesive, in composition is carbon black : CMC = 70 : 30 wt.%, has exhibited the best rate capability between $0.5mA/cm^2{\sim}100mA/cm^2$ current density and the lowest ESR.

Conductance technique is the moat accurate method and gives more detailed information about interface of the MIS structure than other methods. With the measurement of the equivalent parallel conductance and capacitance, the characterization of Si-SiN interface is developed. The interface state density of Si-SiN is obtained by $8{\times}10^{11}$ - $6{\times}10^{12}(eV^{-1}cm^{-2}$). After the positive B-T stress is performed on the sample, the interface state density gets increased. The interface state density is not effected by the D.C. stress.

An electric double-layer capacitor(EDLC) is an electrochemical capacitor with relatively high energy density, typically hundreds of times greater than conventional electrolytic capacitors. EDLCs are widely used for energy storage rather than as general-purpose circuit components. They have a variety of commercial applications, notably in energy smoothing and momentary-load devices, and energy-storage and kinetic energy recovery system devices used in vehicles, etc. This paper presents an accelerated degradation test of an EDLC with rated voltage 2.7V, capacitance 100F, and usage temperature $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}65^{\circ}C$. The EDLCs are tested at $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively for 1,750hours, and their capacitances are measured at predetermined times by constant current discharge method. The failure times are predicted from their capacitance deterioration patterns, where the failure is defined as 30% capacitance decrease from the initial one. It is assumed that the lifetime distribution of EDLC follows Weibull and Arrhenius life-stress relationship holds. The life-stress relationship, acceleration factor, and $B_{10}$ life at design condition are estimated by analyzing the accelerated life test data.

Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) technology is a promising technology to integrate many devices in a module by embedding passive components. For the module substrate, most LTCC structures have dielectric constants below 10 to reduce signal delay time. Some components, which need high dielectric constants, have not been yet embedded in LTCC module. So, embedding capacitor with high capacitance by applying another dielectrics with high dielectric constants in LTCC is an important issue to maximize circuit density in LTCC module. In this study, electrical properties of embedded capacitor fabricated by dielectric paste of high dielectric constants (K-100) and co-firing behavior with LTCC were investigated. To prevent camber development of co-fired structure, constrained sintering process was tested. Dielectric properties of embedded capacitors were calculated from their capacitance and impedance value. Temperature coefficient of capacitance were also measured.
