This, the original supercapacitor seminar, which was started as an annual event in 1990, will be focused on the continuing progress in the development of electrochemical capacitors and hybrid energy storage devices. The topic for the papers submitted include:

 

*  Basic research leading to better understanding of electrochemical double layer phenomena and to new double layer capacitor materials and systems

*  Hybrids combining faradayic and nonfaradayic electrodes in high pulsing power applications

*  Applications emphasizing the use of electrochemical capacitors in support of other energy generating devices, such as wind generators and internal combustion engines

*  Application of electrochemical capacitors in hybrid arrangements with fuel cell engines for electrical vehicles

*  Potential applications of electrochemical capacitors as pulsing power boosters complementing safe low rate primary sources and generators used in oil and gas exploration

*  Stand alone applications would be welcomed, including those resulting from recently developed Nanogate Capacitor concepts

 

The following format shall be utilized for papers being included in the Proceedings book:

 

*  Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Adobe pdf formats only, utilizing standard Windows fonts

*  File size should normally not exceed 1MB, with the exception of PowerPoint formatted papers.

*  PowerPoint formatted papers shall not include elaborate backgrounds that increase file size beyond 10MB (less than 5MB is suggested)

*  No security locks on the papers, as they will be reformatted to a pdf format for printing and inclusion on a CD as a single document

*  Page size - 8 ½ by 11 inches

*  Margins: top and bottom - not less than ½ inch, including any header or footer information; sides - not less than ¾ inch

*  Paper length of no more than 15 pages is suggested

*  Pages should be numbered within the print area and not in the margin areas

*  Figures (charts, pictures, etc.) placed not less then 2 to a page is suggested

*  Color pictures, text and charts will be printed as black and white (grayscale) in the Proceedings book and in color in the Proceedings CD

*  Presentation of papers should be developed for a 30 minute time period, including a short question and answer period

*  Papers will be presented to an English speaking audience

 

Timetable for papers:

 

*  The titles of papers should be submitted directly to Dr. Marincic by e-mail, fax, or by phone not later than July 15th, 2008.

 

*  The seminar program will be posted at www.supercapseminar.com, printed during the month of August, and mailed to all potential participants and attendees along with the registration and hotel reservation instructions.

 

*  Full papers should be submitted electronically by e-mail to it@supercapseminar.com as an attachment and be received not later than November 1, 2008 for inclusion in the preprinted book of proceedings and the pdf formatted CD.

Submission of presentations:

Presentations that are different from the papers submitted should be sent to us as an attachment to an e-mail no later than one week prior to the seminar or provided at the seminar prior to the presentation on a memory stick or CD for downloading to the computer being used for projection. All computer projected presentations will be made utilizing the files downloaded to a computer supplied by Redox Engineering. These presentations will be collated into a single pdf file soon after the seminar and made available for download to those who purchased a Proceedings CD. Both files will be included in CDs sold following the seminar.

Any questions concerning formatting of papers or presentations should be sent to it@supercapseminar.com.
