Abstract

Due to their high power density, rapid charge/discharge rates, and long cycle life, supercapacitors have become promising energy storage devices. However, supercapacitors' energy storage capacity is still inferior to that of conventional batteries. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the optimization of electrode fabrication techniques to improve the energy storage performance of supercapacitor devices. The purpose of this research is to identify key fabrication parameters and techniques that can be altered to improve the energy storage capacity of supercapacitors. The research combines theoretical analyses, experimental studies, and computational simulations to investigate different electrode materials, structures, and processing methods. The paper begins with an overview of supercapacitor technology, highlighting the difficulties associated with attaining higher energy storage densities. The significance of electrode materials and their effect on the performance of supercapacitor devices are discussed. In addition, it provides an overview of the various electrode fabrication techniques used in contemporary literature sets. The experimental methodology entails the synthesis and characterization of various electrode materials, including carbon-based materials, metal oxides, conductive polymers, and their composites. The characterization techniques consist of physical, chemical, and electrochemical analyses to assess the structural and electrochemical properties of the manufactured electrodes. Through experimental investigation, this paper identifies critical parameters that impact the performance of energy storage, such as specific surface area, pore size distribution, electrical conductivity, and electrolyte compatibility. It investigates a variety of techniques, such as electrode composition optimization, surface modification, and electrode architecture design, to improve the specific capacitance and energy density of supercapacitors. In addition, computational simulations are utilized to gain an understanding of the underlying physics and electrochemical processes occurring within the electrodes. The simulations help to comprehend the relationship between electrode morphology, ion diffusion, and charge transfer kinetics, enabling the optimization of electrode design and material selection process. The study's findings indicate significant enhancements to the energy storage capacity of supercapacitor devices. Enhanced specific capacitance, decreased internal resistance, and improved overall energy efficiency are the results of the optimized electrode manufacturing techniques. These findings contribute to the creation of advanced supercapacitor devices suitable for a range of applications, including portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems.
