Presently the role of supercapacitors are increasing as energy storage devices. They have relatively higher energy density as well as power density when compared to rechargeable batteries. Despite this, they have better lifespan and faster charging rate when compared with rechargeable batteries. Hence, they can be deployed in electric vehicles and in high-powered gadgets.In recent years, many advances were achieved in the field of capacitors in terms of fabrication of novel electrode materials and electrolytes. Since this field of study belongs to an interdisciplinary subject, this book briefs both electrical and electrochemical principles of capacitors as well as supercapacitors in terms of their technical perspectives rather than theoretical aspects.
