Abstract
An electronic device (220) includes a component (105), such as a microprocessor, that generates heat and an electrochemical capacitor (200) used for thermal management. The electrochemical capacitor (200) has a first region, preferably the perimeter region, including electroactive material (160) and an electrolyte (165) and also has a second region, preferably the inner region, including heat sink material (170). When the component (105) and the electrochemical capacitor (200) are mounted within the device (220), the heat sink material (170) of the capacitor (200) is aligned with the component (105).
