Supercapacitors

Advisory Guest Editor Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov
We are delighted to present to you a diverse set of works showcasing exciting new research on supercapacitors, particularly electrode materials and high voltage materials from basic concepts to applications.
A major challenge for supercapacitors is that conventional devices have a relatively low energy density, which is about 20 to 40 times lower than that of lithium-ion batteries. Significant research effort has therefore been devoted to improving the energy density without compromising their excellent power density.
This themed collection features research papers on asymmetrical supercapacitors, multifunctional supercapacitors, and more. Articles are published in Nanoscale Advances so they are all open access and freely available.
A small selection of papers are featured below.
