Electrodes are responsible for various energy storage mechanisms in supercapacitors, while electrolytes are crucial for defining energy density, power density, cyclic stability, and efficiency of devices. Various electrolytes, from aqueous to ionic liquid, have been studied and implemented as potential electrolytes for supercapacitors.
Electrolyte materials have a significant impact on the performance and longevity of supercapacitors. This review article provides an overview of the recent advancements in electrolyte materials for supercapacitor applications, including ionic liquids, solid-state electrolytes, and gel electrolytes.
The purity of electrolytes has a significant impact on the performance of supercapacitors. For example, a low quantity of water may reduce the potential window of the organic electrolyte, and a trace amount of metal may speed up self-discharge and reduce the lifetime of the supercapacitor.
Electrolytes are the key for supercapacitive devices to have a high power and energy density, long cycling life, and safety. Ionic mobility and conductivity are the important factors to evaluate the performance of electrolytes.
Greater working voltage ranges, greater safety and free of corrosion systems are the main reasons of adapting the aqueous electrolyte in supercapacitors . For instance, typical neutral electrolytes for pseudocapacitors are the salts with Li, Na, K.
The term “super” had always been normally used to denote the related capacitors' high specific capacitance as compared to classical capacitors. The selection of anion or cation significantly alters the specific capacitance of supercapacitor. Variation in the negative-ion can tremendously alter the conductivity and viscosity of electrolytes.
