Patent Images
1. An ultracapacitor comprising:
- a. a first electrode includes mineral microtubules;
b. a second electrode includes mineral microtubules, where a portion of said mineral microtubules in at least one of the first and second electrodes are inorganic mineral microtubules;
c. an electrolyte disposed between said first electrode and said second electrode; and
d. a separator disposed in said electrolyte to provide electrical insulation between said first electrode and said second electrode, while allowing ion flow within said electrolyte.

Abstract
Disclosed is an ultracapacitor having electrodes containing mineral microtubules, an electrolyte between the electrodes, and a separator in the electrolyte to provide electrical insulation between the electrodes, while allowing ion flow within the electrolyte. The electrodes may be formed from a paste containing microtubules, a conductive polymer containing mineral microtubules, or an aerogel containing the mineral microtubles. The mineral microtubules may be filed with carbon, a pseudocapacitance material, or a magnetoresistive material. The mineral microtubules may also be coated with a photoconductive material.
