γ-Valerolactone as Sustainable and Low-Toxic Solvent for Electrical Double Layer Capacitors. [PDF]
Sustainable solvent: The concept of using solvent γ‐valerolactone (GVL) derived from sustainable feedstocks as electrolyte component in electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) is implementable. GVL‐based electrolytes, with an operating voltage of 2.7–2.9 V, present high capacitance retention and good specific energy as well as power in EDLCs ...
