Abstract

Abstract:

This four months review paper highlights 100 recent published papers on supercapacitors. We searched the Web of Science and found 830 papers online from November 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016. 100 of them were selected to be highlighted. The researches of electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) are mainly focused on new carbon material designed preparation, such as porous carbon materials, graphene, and their effect on supercapacitor performance. The published papers of pseudocapacitor include four aspects, such as metal oxide composites, conductive polymer composite, heteroatom doping carbon materials and new type of pseudocapactive materials. Hybrid supercapacitor includes aqueous hybrid supercapacitor and organic hybrid supercapacitor.

Key words: supercapacitors, electrical double-layer capacitors, pseudocapacitors, hybrid supercapacitors
