Supercapacitors (SCs) have received much interest due to their enhanced electrochemical performance, superior cycling life, excellent specific power, and fast charging–discharging rate. The energy density of SCs is comparable to batteries; however, their power density and cyclability are higher by several orders of magnitude relative to batteries, making them a flexible and compromising energy storage alternative, provided a proper design and efficient materials are used. This review emphasizes various types of SCs, such as electrochemical double-layer capacitors, hybrid supercapacitors, and pseudo-supercapacitors. Furthermore, various synthesis strategies, including sol-gel, electro-polymerization, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, chemical vapor deposition, direct coating, vacuum filtration, de-alloying, microwave auxiliary, in situ polymerization, electro-spinning, silar, carbonization, dipping, and drying methods, are discussed. Furthermore, various functionalizations of SC electrode materials are summarized. In addition to their potential applications, brief insights into the recent advances and associated problems are provided, along with conclusions. This review is a noteworthy addition because of its simplicity and conciseness with regard to SCs, which can be helpful for researchers who are not directly involved in electrochemical energy storage.

Due to advancements in technology, the energy demand is becoming more intense with time. The rapid fossil fuels consumption and environmental concerns triggered intensive research for alternative renewable energy resources, including sunlight and wind. Yet, due to their time‐dependent operations, significant electric energy storage systems are required to store substantial energy. In this regard, electrochemical energy storage devices, like batteries and supercapacitors (SCs), have recently attracted much research attention. Recent developments in SCs demonstrated that hybrid SCs (HSCs), which combine the excellent properties of batteries and SCs, increase the specific energy, specific power, specific capacitance, and life span. Carbonaceous and redox‐active materials have been explored as efficient electrode materials for applications in HSCs, ultimately enhancing their electrochemical performances. The HSCs performance significantly depends on the porosity, specific surface area, and conductivity of the electrode materials. This review article gives an overview of recent advances in developing HSCs with high specific power, specific energy, and long cyclic‐life. The fabrication of various HSCs materials using carbonaceous and redox‐active nanoarchitectures and their characterization are explored in‐depth, including electrode development, basic principles, and device engineering. A proper investigation has been conducted regarding state‐of‐the‐art materials as HSC electrodes. This review focuses on the most up‐to‐date, cutting‐edge, electrode materials for HSCs and their performance. The possibilities for novel electrode materials and their impact on the HSCs performance for future energy storage are also discussed.

“…In recent years, the compounding of carbon‐based materials with BBMs has been a rapidly developing method in photocatalysis due to its attractive electronic band structure, large specific surface area, and excellent chemical and thermal stability [67] . Among them, the two‐dimensional (2D) structure of graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) with a medium bandgap (2.7 eV) has become the preferred carbon material to improve the photocatalytic performance of BBMs.…”
