Activated Carbon/Transition Metal Oxides Thin Films for Supercapacitors

Activated Carbon/Transition Metal Oxides Thin Films for Supercapacitors

F.F.M. Shaikh, S.R. Jadakar, R.K. Kamat, H.M. Pathan

A supercapacitor is considered as the device capable of alleviating the current energy crisis. These devices are classified as Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLCs), pseudo-capacitor or hybrid supercapacitor. Hybrid devices cover larger surface area, higher specific capacitance, stability, better electrical conductivity, etc. This chapter presents a brief analysis of different metal oxide/hydroxide along with activated carbon as a composite material or as an anode or cathode material for supercapacitors.
