Owing to their high-power density, long life, and environmental compatibility, supercapacitors are emerging as one of the promising storage technologies, but with challenges around energy and power requirements for specific applications. This book focusses on supercapacitors including details on classification, charge storage mechanisms, related kinetics, and thermodynamics. Materials used as electrodes, electrolytes, and separators, procedures followed, characterization methods, and modeling are covered, along with emphasis on related applications. There are a wide variety of capacitors depending on the practical application. The main categories are variable capacitors and non-variable capacitors. The capacitance value of variable capacitors can be changed mechanically or electronically, as the name suggests, whereas a non-variable capacitor gives fixed capacitance. Capacitors are mainly classified into three categories, namely electrostatic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, and electrochemical capacitors. EDLC/goldcaps/ultracapacitors/supercapacitors have been considered to be a well-tried alternative energy storage device for the last few decades.
