Supercapacitors: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors, are advanced energy storage devices. Unlike regular batteries, they store energy electrostatically rather than through chemical reactions. This allows them to charge and discharge much faster, making them ideal for applications needing quick bursts of power, like electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Supercapacitors are made of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte, where energy is stored electrostatically or through reversible chemical reactions. Their high power density enables efficient energy management, improving the performance and lifespan of electronic devices. Ongoing advancements aim to increase their capacitance and energy density, making them effective alternatives to traditional batteries in various modern electronics and communication systems. This book consists of contributions made by international experts. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in the field of supercapacitors. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of supercapacitors.
