Features: "Electrochemical supercapacitors are a new type of energy storage device that lies between traditional electrostatic capacitors and batteries. Due to their high energy density, they are suitable for applications requiring the instantaneous release of extremely large currents. This book provides a comprehensive description of such capacitor systems and their application technologies. It includes fundamental details of the background science, as well as basic concepts of electrode kinetics and interfacial electrochemistry, polarization theory, porous electrodes, and conductive polymers used to enhance specific capacitance. Thus, understanding and studying the material presented in this book will not require frequent reference to other physical chemistry or electrochemistry textbooks. The book gathers extensive and up-to-date information, incorporating the author's many years of experimental achievements. It holds significant reference value for researchers and engineers working in the fields of electrochemistry and energy."
