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.
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 .
These capacitors exhibit extremely low ESR and equivalent series inductance, coupled with high current-handling capabilities and outstanding high-temperature stability. As a result, they show immense potential for applications in electric vehicles, 5G base stations, clean energy generation, smart grids, and other fields.
Capacitors also charge/discharge very quickly compared to battery technology and are optimal for energy harvesting/scavenging applications, and depending on power requirements, can replace batteries altogether.
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.
However, the efficient use of renewable energy sources and the emergence of wearable electronics has created the need for new requirements such as high-speed energy delivery, faster charge–discharge speeds, longer lifetimes, and reusability. This leads to the need for supercapacitors, which can be a good complement to batteries.
