Abstract
Supercapacitors or ultracapacitors are considered as one of the most upcoming and promising candidates for power devices in future generations. Because of its appealing properties, it is suitable for many advanced applications like hybrid electrical vehicles and similar other power devices and systems. In order to use this device in power applications, its energy and power density needs to be maximized. A lot of results from published work in the form of research and review papers, patents and reports are available this time. The purpose of this article is to re-look the journey of the materials used for supercapacitors with focus on the energy storage capability for practical applications. Moreover article also addresses the principal technological challenges which the research society is facing in the field of supercapacitors.
