Article Abstract

Supercapacitors are electrical energy storage devices renowned for their high power density and long cycle life. However, their low energy density has limited their broader application, particularly in electric vehicles. Carbon nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene, are among the most promising electrode materials for enhancing energy density due to their unique structures, excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, large specific surface area, and chemical inertness in both acidic and alkaline environments. Significant progress has been made in the development of high-performance carbon-based supercapacitors. In this Review, we begin by exploring the origin and mechanisms of charge storage in supercapacitors. We then summarize the current advancements in enhancing the capacitive performance. The theory and primary strategies for designing high-performance supercapacitors are discussed to provide guidance on electrode material selection and design. Finally, future research directions and perspectives are presented with the aim of advancing the development of efficient carbon-based supercapacitors.

Achieving high capacitance while maintaining rapid charge transport and structural stability remains a major challenge in the design of battery-type supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, a molecularly engineered strategy is presented for constructing hierarchical hybrid electrodes by integrating petal-like NiCu-LDH nanosheets onto 3D HBC-x (x = H, F, OMe)-functionalized CNT paper via a one-step hydrothermal process. The incorporation of HBC effectively mitigates CNT agglomeration and constructs an interconnected conductive framework that enhances charge transport, shortens ion diffusion paths, and reduces internal resistance.

In this study, a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize a novel gold-yttrium trimesic acid metal-organic framework (Au-Y-TMA MOF), demonstrating significant improvements over conventional single-metal MOFs, that is, yttrium trimesic acid (Y-TMA), in both supercapacitor applications and electrochemical antibiotic detection. The X-ray diffraction patterns of Au-Y-TMA confirmed the presence and impact of Au in the Y-TMA matrix, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images revealed a heterogeneous combination of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Y-TMA, suggesting a nonuniform distribution and possible interaction. The developed half-cell supercapacitor exhibited a remarkable capacitance value of 1836 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g by galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD) measurement.

Designing heterostructure-based nanocomposites has gained considerable interest in solving energy scarcity and environmental contamination issues. Herein, a heterojunction assembly of ternary SnS/MoS/g-CN nanocomposites with varying Sn and Mo weight ratios was synthesized through a single-step hydrothermal method. At an optimized ratio of tin to molybdenum (1 : 2), denoted as SM-3, promising electrochemical and photocatalytic performances were observed compared to bare SnS/g-CN and MoS/g-CN.
