Hybrid supercapacitors combine battery-like and capacitor-like electrodes in a single cell, integrating both faradaic and non-faradaic energy storage mechanisms to achieve enhanced energy and power densities .
For instance, supercapacitors are currently employed in hybrid systems for buses and trucks, storing regenerative braking energy of light rails and automobiles, heavy-duty vehicles, industrial power, consumer electronics, and load-balancing systems for fluctuating energy sources. [16, 36, 38]
A supercapacitor has owned some internal resistance, resulting in energy loss. It can be modeled as a system consisting of a capacitor in series with a resistor (RES), as depicted in Figure 10. The RES is the resistance of the electrochemical capacitors and is important in reflecting the energy efficiency and power performance of supercapacitors.
Weaving is also an alternative technique for integrating TENGs and supercapacitors into self-charging power fabrics. Liu et al. produced self-charging textile using yarn-based TENGs for energy harvesting and a yarn-based supercapacitor for energy storage (Figure 20c).
Supercapacitors have emerged as promising solutions to current and future energy challenges due to their high-power density, rapid charge-discharge capabilities, and long cycle life. The field has witnessed significant advancements in electrode materials, electrolytes, and device architectures.
