Unlocking the Potential of Carbon & Transition Metal Compounds as High-Performance Electrodes for Next-Generation Supercapacitors

The reliance on fossil fuels has harmed the global economy and environment, leading to a push for renewable energy. However, renewables' intermittent nature limits their use. Addressing this concern requires efficient energy sources and improved storage technologies. This thesis focuses on the latter, particularly on supercapacitors (SCs), known to supply quick bursts of power but cannot supply constant energy for a longer time (like batteries). Research has therefore centered on next-generation SCs, exploring new materials with improved energy storage comparable to batteries. Our study highlights the potential of hybrid materials and advanced designs pushing the boundaries of SC technology.
