"Preface In today's energy-dependent world, electrochemical devices for energy storage and conversion such as batteries, fuel cells and electrochemical supercapacitors (ES') have been recognized as the most important portion among all energy storage and conversion technologies. Electrochemical supercapacitor, also known as supercapacitor, ultracapacitor, or electrochemical double layer capacitor, is a special capacitor that can store relatively high energy density compared to conventional capacitor. Possessing a number of high-impact characteristics, such as fast charging, long charge-discharge cycles and broad operating temperature ranges, ES' have wide spread applications in hybrid or electrical vehicles ...
