Supercapacitors have gained much attention as a new energy storage device option, whether as a complement to Li-ion batteries or as their replacement. The infinite options for supercapacitor materials (their electrodes and electrolytes) and their high current deliverability are the figures-of-merit for these devices. Our lab focuses on the development of graphene-based and transition metal-based supercapacitors, pursuing the highest energy density while overcoming several issues with these materials with a combination of experimental and computation. Moreover, we are also eager to develop new types of supercapacitors by providing new mechanisms, structures, or materials.
