    Abstract

    Supercapacitors (SCs) are advanced energy storage systems (ESSs) that effectively intermediate between conventional capacitors and batteries. They combine high-energy density batteries with conventional capacitors for high power density. Extensive research has concentrated on enhancing electrode and electrolyte materials and device fabrication techniques to achieve significant breakthroughs in ESSs with various applications in electronics. SCs can deliver a substantial amount of power in a very short time, which makes them suitable for diverse applications. This chapter explores the different applications of SCs across various sectors, including consumer and portable electronics, transportation and vehicles, power backup systems, biomedical devices, military applications, and aerospace technologies.
