Redox Electrolytes/Mediators for Supercapacitors
X. Zhou, Y. Wang, C. Zhang, and X. Qiao
This chapter is intended to summarize research progress of relatively new supercapacitors, redox electrolyte/mediator supercapacitors using other types of supercapacitors as references. The chapter will articulate the most important milestones of the research and development. Much of the efforts have been on important fundamental issues including the mechanisms, electron shuttling effect, simulation approaches, and metrics for evaluating the specific capacitance, energy, and power. The aim of this chapter is to view the mediator supercapacitor as a hybrid of electric double layer capacitor or EDLC and rechargeable battery. In the end, the authors’ visions for future research and development are provided.
