As a new type of electrochemical energy storage technology, lithium-ion capacitor(LIC) has the characteristics of ultra-high power density, relatively high energy density, long life, high safety, low life cycle operation cost, wide temperature range, easy recycling and so on. The cost of lithium-ion capacitor(LIC) is between lithium-ion battery(LIB) and electric double layer capacitor(EDLC), which has great market application value and competitive advantage. In this paper, the structure, working principle, technical characteristics and development history of lithium-ion capacitor are described. As a power energy storage device, lithium ion capacitor can be used independently, and can also be combined with other energy storage devices (such as lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, lead batteries, etc.) to form a hybrid energy storage system. This paper focuses on the application of lithium ion in micro-grid, power frequency modulation, wind power variable blade system, urban rail transit, new energy vehicles and other new energy fields. Finally, the development and application prospect of lithium ion capacitor technology in the future are prospected.
