Abstract
An ultracapacitor comprising a first electrode containing mineral microtubules, a second electrode containing mineral microtubules, an electrolyte disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a separator disposed in the electrolyte to provide electrical insulation between the first electrode and the second electrode, while allowing ion flow within the electrolyte. The electrodes may be formed from a paste containing mineral microtubules, or may consist essentially of a conductive polymer containing mineral microtubules, or an aerogel containing the mineral microtubules. The mineral microtubules may be filled with carbon, a pseudocapacitance material, or a magnetoresistive material. The mineral microtubules may also be coated with a photoconductive material.
