Capacitors exhibit exceptional power density, a vast operational temperature range, remarkable reliability, lightweight construction, and high efficiency, making them extensively utilized in the realm of energy storage. There exist two primary categories of energy storage capacitors: dielectric capacitors and supercapacitors.
This comprehensive review has explored the current state and future directions of supercapacitor technology in energy storage applications. Supercapacitors have emerged as promising solutions to current and future energy challenges due to their high-power density, rapid charge-discharge capabilities, and long cycle life.
Organic supercapacitors with high pseudocapacitance, lightweight form factor, and higher device potential are alternatives to other energy storage devices. There are many recent ongoing research works that focus on organic electrolytes along with the material aspect of organic supercapacitors.
Both supercapacitors and batteries can be integrated to form an energy storage system (ESS) that maximizes the utility of both power and energy. The key objective here is to amplify their respective strengths while minimizing their shortcomings.
In comparison to conventional capacitors, supercapacitors tend to have lower power densities [, , ]. However, their energy densities are substantially larger than those of capacitors [61, 62]. Table 1 delineates the differences between these energy storage devices.
Capacitors possess higher charging/discharging rates and faster response times compared with other energy storage technologies, effectively addressing issues related to discontinuous and uncontrollable renewable energy sources like wind and solar .
