Boost circuit energy storage capacitor
The key principle that drives the boost converter is the tendency of an to resist changes in current by either increasing or decreasing the energy stored in the inductor's magnetic field. In a boost converter, the output voltage is always higher than the input voltage. A schematic of a boost power stage is shown in Figure 1. In short, a boost converter stores energy in an inductor’s magnetic field, then transfers that energy to a capacitor in such a way that the capacitor’s voltage can increase beyond the voltage of the source that supplied energy to the inductor.

What is the earliest energy storage capacitor
Supercapacitors have advantages in applications where a large amount of power is needed for a relatively short time, where a very high number of charge/discharge cycles or a longer lifetime is required. Typical applications range from milliamp currents or milliwatts of power for up to a few minutes to several amps current or several hundred kilowatts power for much shorter periods. Supercapacitors do not support alternating current (AC) applications. Electric double-layer capacitors (now supercapacitors) were invented in 1957 when H. Becker developed a "Low voltage electrolytic capacitor with porous carbon electrodes". He believed that the energy was stored as a charge in the carbon pores used in his capacitor as in the pores of the etched foils of electrolytic capacitors. [pdf]
Energy storage form of capacitor elements
Capacitors are devices which store electrical energy in the form of electrical chargeaccumulated on their plates. When a capacitor is connected to a power source, it accumulates energy which can be released when the capacitor is disconnected from the charging source, and in this respect they are. . There are many applications which use capacitors as energy sources. They are used in audio equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, camera flashes, pulsed loads such as magnetic. . Capacitors, as well as other capacitors used for other purposes in circuits, can store charge long after they have been disconnected from the circuit, or after the power was disconnected. Capacitors are energy storing elements which store energy in the form of electric fields developed in between the plates separated at distance d. When subjected to voltage, a capacitor draws current until the voltage reaches the potential rating of the capacitor. If a higher potential is applied it may result in damage to the capacitor. [pdf]
