Graphene-based supercapacitorsNational Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute", Krasnokazarmennaya st. 14, Moscow, 111250, Russian Federation Problems of supercapacitor development have been considered related to the enhancement of operating characteristics of systems such as specific energy storage, specific released energy, charging-discharging time, and the ability to withstand the maximum charge-discharge cycling times without lowering the stored energy. One of the approaches to solving the above-listed problems relates to the use of graphene and related materials as electrodes for supercapacitors. The presented article reviews studies addressing the investigation of graphene-based materials with the aim of their use in supercapacitors. Special attention is devoted to hybrid systems in which graphene-based materials are used in combination with metal oxides. Such systems, called pseudocapacitors, possess higher operation characteristics than conventional supercapacitors do due to the possibility of executing electro-chemical processes at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte.
