The activated carbon wound supercapacitors with TEABF4/propylene carbonate （PC） and TEABF4/acetonitrile （AN） electrolytes were prepared. The effects of the electrolyte and temperature on the capacitance behavior were investigated by cyclic voltammetry （CV） and constant current charge-discharge. Compared with the PC-based supercapacitor, the AN-based supercapacitor has higher capacitance and lower equivalent serial resistance （RES） at discharge currents ranging from 5 to 1 000 mA and 25 ℃. Moreover, temperature effects are more prominent for PC-based supercapacitor than for AN-based supereapacitor. When the measurement temperature ranges from 60 ℃to -40 ℃ the capacitance changes from 5.1 to 2.5 F and RES changes from 135 to 876 mΩ for the PC-based supercapacior, while the AN-based supercapacitor shows less change in capacitance and RES. Thus AN-based supercapacitor exhibits excellent power characteristics and temperature property.
