Abstract
A high-voltage electrochemical-electrolytic capacitor. The capacitor includes a cathode comprising a plurality of electrically-conductive particles in intimate electrical contact with one another and disposed in a proton-conductive, electrically-non-conductive, solid ionomer matrix. The capacitor also includes an anode comprising a plurality of electrically-conductive particles in intimate electrical contact with one another and disposed in a proton-conductive, electrically-non-conductive solid ionomer matrix, the electrically-conductive particles of the anode differing in composition from the electrically-conductive particles of said cathode. The capacitor further includes a proton-conducting dielectric positioned between and in contact with each of the cathode and the anode, the proton-conducting dielectric comprising a solid ionomer. Preferably, the capacitor is assembled by constructing a first portion and a second portion, the first portion comprising the cathode and an extra thickness of solid ionomer on its inner surface, the second portion comprising the anode and an extra thickness of solid ionomer on its inner surface. When the first and second portions are brought togeth…
