Abstract:
Environmentally friendly methods of storing electrical energy are in the focus of industry and a large number of researchers. Electrolytic batteries, in which energy is stored in the electrolyte, show a pronounced degree of self-discharge compared to electrode-dependent batteries, which limits their application. In addition to electronics, electrolytic batteries are used in industry where there is a need for short-term intensive discharges and processes in which the interval between charge and discharge is not too large. Electrolytic batteries (supercapacitors) are often added as support for lithium batteries (urban transport vehicles). This presentation presents part of the research that goes towards discovering new and inexpensive environmentally friendly electrolytes that could replace the toxic electrolytes that are currently in use. The capacitive properties of salt aqueous solutions in a low-intensity electric field were examined, as well as the effect of illuminating the solution on the aforementioned properties.
