Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first porous electrode for conducting a charge; a second porous electrode for conducting an opposing charge; an electrolyte solution soaking the first electrode and the second electrode to enable formation of an electrical double-layer at interfaces of both the first porous electrode and the second porous electrode with the electrolyte solution and thereby exhibit a dielectric interaction between charged surfaces of the first porous electrode and the second porous electrode and ions of the electrolyte solution; and a separator disposed between the first porous electrode and the second porous electrode, the separator allowing for conduction of the ions while electrically insulating the first porous electrode and the second porous electrode; wherein the electrolyte solution comprises a salt dissolved into at least a base solvent and a second solvent for reducing a melting point of the base solvent.
