Abstract

The future energy industry will be more electric, efficient, networked, and environment friendly as compared to the present one. Clean energy technology is rapidly becoming cost-effective, broadly usable, and a substantial new source of investment, job creation, and international collaboration, due to rapid technological breakthroughs and global legislative reforms. The increasing expansion of renewable generation resources necessitates the presence of energy storage systems which will ensure the energy security, and electrification of remote and rural areas and will also cut down the carbon emission. They can assure the reliability of electric power grids along with the continuous supply of electric power. In response to the rising need for energy-storage devices, supercapacitors, which are electrochemical capacitors, are being explored intensively. They have several advantages over standard secondary storage batteries, including faster charge propagation, which is intrinsically simpler and reversible, longer cycle life, and higher storage efficiency. In modern energy storage and conversion, carbon materials have the potential to be the most adaptive basic ...
