Unlike ordinary capacitors, supercapacitors do not use a conventional solid dielectric, but rather, they use electrostatic double-layer capacitance and electrochemical pseudocapacitance, both of which contribute to the total energy storage of the capacitor.
Supercapacitors do not support alternating current (AC) applications. In applications with fluctuating loads, such as laptop computers, PDAs, GPS, portable media players, hand-held devices, and photovoltaic systems, supercapacitors can stabilize the power supply.
The capacitance value of a supercapacitor is determined by two storage principles: Double-layer capacitance – electrostatic storage of the electrical energy achieved by separation of charge in a Helmholtz double layer at the interface between the surface of a conductor electrode and an electrolytic solution electrolyte.
It consists of positive and negative electrodes (current collectors), a separator, and the electrolyte. The construction of the supercapacitor is more like the electrochemical batteries in which both of the electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte solution and are separated using the so-called separator layer .
A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC or LiC) is a hybrid type of capacitor classified as a type of supercapacitor. It is called a hybrid because the anode is the same as those used in lithium-ion batteries and the cathode is the same as those used in supercapacitors. Activated carbon is typically used as the cathode.
Lithium Ion Capacitor (LIC) is a safe and reliable component. It has been tested for safety including capacitor body penetration, external pin short circuit, and external impact on the body. There is no doubt about fire, expansion, rupture, etc., and it is a safe and reliable component.

Some LIC's have a longer cycle life but this is often at the cost of a lower energy density. In conclusion, the LIC will probably never reach the energy density of a lithium-ion battery and never reach the combined cycle life and power density of a supercapacitor.
