Physics-of-Failure (PoF) methodology for qualification and lifetime assessment of supercapacitors for industrial applications

In this paper, we apply the Physics-of-Failure (PoF) methodology for qualification and lifetime assessment of electronic systems, to derive PoF models for supercapacitors at different stresses relevant for some industrial applications. It is expected from these models to better understand the performance of supercapacitors at different stresses and to predict accurate lifetime of supercapacitors allowing industry to robustly design their products and avoid high field returns.
