LIC's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_capacitor)
A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) is a hybrid type of capacitor. Activated carbon is used as cathode. The anode of the LIC consists of carbon material which is pre-doped with lithium ion. This pre-doping process lowers the potential of the anode and allows a high output voltage.
Properties
Typical properties of an LIC are:
High cell capacity, because of the large anode capacity
High energy density (14 Wh/kg reported in [2])
High power density
High reliability
Operating temperatures ranging from −20 ⁰C to 70 ⁰C.
Low self-discharge (<5% Voltage drop at 25⁰C over three months reported in).
Lithium-ion capacitors are quite suitable for applications which require a high energy density, high power densities and excellent durability. Since they combine high energy density with high power density, there is no need for additional electrical storage devices in various kinds of applications, resulting in reduced cost of ownership.
Maybe the wave of the future here?
