Abstract
Supercapacitor technology has been continuously advancing to improve material performance and energy density by utilizing new technologies like hybrid materials and electrodes with nanostructures. Along with fundamental principles, this article covers various types of supercapacitors, such as hybrid, electric double-layer, and pseudocapacitors. Further, comprehensive electrochemical characterization methods, including galvanostatic charge–discharge, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and other techniques (structural characterization, which includes methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis), provide information on the behavior and performance of supercapacitors. Additionally, supercapacitors are being studied for their key applications, which include industrial uses, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and portable electronics. Along with discussing existing limitations—such as comparatively lower energy density in comparison to batteries—the article also highlights emerging trends that could help address these limitations in the future, like the development of innovative materials and inventive electrode designs. Finally, the discussion concludes with suggestions for future research focused on enhancing supercapacitor performance and broadening their range of applications, which highlights their contribution to the development of an ecosystem for energy storage that is more effective and sustainable.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
