Abstract: A flexible charge storage device in the form a supercapacitor includes a flexible capacitive element, which is housed within a flexible package. The capacitive element includes a plurality of interleaved sheet electrodes which have an insulator or separator between them and which are stacked in a face-to-face configuration. Alternate electrodes are interconnected by way of respective opposed tabs that extend outwardly from the capacitive element. The supercapacitor also includes a first terminal and a second terminal that are respectively electrically connected with the opposed tabs. The flexible package includes a single folded sheet. Ends of the package, as well as the portions of both sides, which overlap, are fixedly and sealingly abutted against one another by way of heat welding or the like. Accordingly, an electrolyte is retained within the package.

Abstract: An energy storage device in the form of a cylindrical double layer capacitor (1) includes a plurality of integrally formed first electrode members (2) which each extend between a first end (3) and a second end (4). A plurality of integrally formed second electrode members (5) each extend between a third end (6) and a fourth end (7). As shown, members (5) are interleaved with members (2) such that ends (7) are located intermediate ends (3, 4) of the adjacent members (2). An insulator in the form of carbon layer (8) are disposed between adjacent members (2, 5) to prevent electrical contact therebetween. First contact means in the form of flanges (11) extend from respective ends (3) of each member (2) and electrically connect all the first members. Flanges (11) provide a site for the metallisation of particles thereupon. Those particles form a porous connection layer (12) for an electrical terminal (13) for members (2). Flanges (11) also form a barrier against the ingress of the particles beyond ends (3).
