“…The functioning of such devices has to be improved to comply with the requirements of future systems. , The supercapacitors are categorized into three types based on the materials used and charge-storage mechanism: (i) electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLC), (ii) pseudocapacitors, and (iii) hybrid capacitors. , The EDLC uses carbon-based active material for simple adsorption–desorption of electrolytes ion on the electrode–electrolyte interface and confer the possibility as a good conductor with the increased specific surface area. − The pseudocapacitor works by fast and reversible surface and near-surface reactions. , The hybrid capacitor utilizes the advantages of both EDLC and pseudocapacitor electrodes. − The carbon-based EDLC materials has been used as commercial supercapacitor electrodes due to its cost-effectiveness and natural abundance. The most investigated carbon-based materials include activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, carbon aerogel, carbide-derived carbon, and nanosized carbon. In addition, biowaste-derived activated carbon are in consideration for preparing electrode materials for supercapacitor performance, which is attributable to advantages such as wide availability, hassle-free preparation, and evading the problem of waste disposal.…”
