Graphene-Based Materials for Micro-Supercapacitors

Akanksha R. Urade, Gurjinder Kaur, Indranil Lahiri

With the increase in the demand for flexible miniaturized electronic devices, there is a rapid development in micro-power sources. Recently developed on-chip micro-supercapacitors are raising possibilities for energy storage because of fast charge-discharge rates, higher power density and long lifetime than their counterparts. Among all the materials, graphene-based materials exhibit great potential in the development of thin, flexible and long-life micro-supercapacitors. This chapter presents fundamental working mechanism and design of planar interdigital micro-supercapacitors with particular emphasis on graphene-based micro-supercapacitors. New trends in the electrode preparations and fabrication techniques are identified. Finally, the future prospects in the development of graphene-based micro-supercapacitors are briefly discussed.
