Abstract
A supercapacitor is a type of energy storage device that exhibits high power density compared to battery and high energy density compared to conventional capacitor. Electrodes made of carbon, predominantly graphite, are utilized in conventional supercapacitors. In recent years, many substitutes for the construction of supercapacitor electrodes, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other nanostructured materials, have been under consideration. In addition to providing a concise history of supercapacitors as an energy storage medium and nanomaterials, this article provides a summary of the recent advancements that have been made in this particular field.
