The aging behavior of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) based on activated carbon electrodes bound with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) was tested in electrolyte solutions based on acetonitrile (AN) and propylene carbonate (PC) at a constant elevated cell voltage of 3.5V. The aging was quantified in terms of capacitance loss and resistance increase for the full cell and the individual electrodes. It is shown that the enhanced aging rate of symmetric EDLCs in either solvent at elevated voltages is dominated by the aging of a single electrode, and that the polarity of this limiting electrode depends directly on the solvent. In AN, the positive electrode ages much more rapidly than the negative, while in PC the negative electrode exhibits faster aging than the positive. After aging, the electrodes were investigated by nitrogen adsorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, revealing significant modifications of the electrode surface and providing clear evidence for the deposition of electrolyte degradation products on the electrodes.
