In the light of energy storage, supercapacitors mechanism is classified into EDLCs (electrochemical double layer capacitors) and pseudocapacitors. Multidimensional carbon nanomaterials (active carbon, carbon nanotube, graphene, etc.), carbon-based composite and corresponding electrolyte are the critical and important factor in the eyes of researcher. In this minireview, we will discuss the storage mechanism and summarize recent developed novel carbon and carbon-based materials in supercapacitors. The techniques to design the novel nanostructure and high performance electrodematerials that facilitate charge transfer to achieve high energy and power densities will also be discussed.展开更多
