Abstract: Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors with their long life and high power density can meet the requirements of high-power energy storage device from electric vehicles, electronic storage devices, household electrical, aerospace equipment and some other applications. Therefore, applications of supercapacitors expanded rapidly since they were reported. In this paper, electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) and hybrid supercapacitors are introduced briefly, and their applications are reviewed.

Key words: supercapacitors/ultracapacitors, EDLC, hybrid supercacitors, applications
