Abstract

The growing demand for efficient energy storage solutions has driven significant advancements in supercapacitor technology, aimed at overcoming the traditional limitations of low energy density. This article reviews strategies for enhancing the energy density of supercapacitors, focusing on advancements in electrolyte formulations, activated carbon materials, pseudocapacitive materials, and binder technologies. Aqueous, ionic liquid, and organic electrolytes have been optimized to expand voltage windows and improve ionic conductivity, thereby increasing energy storage capacity. The development of high specific surface area carbon materials and the precise tailoring of pore size distributions have been shown to enhance capacitance. Pseudocapacitive materials, including metal oxides and MXenes, have demonstrated the potential for significantly higher energy densities through redox-active mechanisms. Innovations in binder systems, particularly those employing conductive materials like reduced graphene oxide, have further improved electrode performance by enhancing structural integrity and ion transport. A key focus is the role of polymer binders, which are vital for reducing the internal resistance and subsequent heat generation. Research in this area aims to develop binders that minimize resistive losses, improve ion transport efficiency, reduce heat generation and maintain optimal operating temperatures, prevent thermal degradation, and increase energy density. Continuous research into new materials and formulations for polymer binders is essential for advancing supercapacitor technology.

高分子粘合剂在提高超级电容器能量密度中的重要作用
对高效储能解决方案日益增长的需求推动了超级电容器技术的重大进步,旨在克服低能量密度的传统限制。本文综述了提高超级电容器能量密度的策略,重点介绍了电解质配方、活性炭材料、假电容材料和粘合剂技术的进展。通过对水溶液、离子液体和有机电解质进行优化,扩大了电压窗,提高了离子电导率,从而增加了储能容量。高比表面积碳材料的发展和孔径分布的精确裁剪已被证明可以增强电容。假电容材料,包括金属氧化物和MXenes,已经通过氧化还原活性机制显示出显著提高能量密度的潜力。粘结剂系统的创新,特别是那些采用导电材料(如还原氧化石墨烯)的粘结剂系统,通过增强结构完整性和离子传输,进一步提高了电极的性能。一个关键的焦点是聚合物粘合剂的作用,这对于减少内阻和随后的热量产生至关重要。该领域的研究旨在开发粘合剂,以最大限度地减少电阻损失,提高离子传输效率,减少热量产生并保持最佳工作温度,防止热降解,并增加能量密度。不断研究聚合物粘合剂的新材料和新配方对于推进超级电容器技术至关重要。图形抽象
