Pseudocapacitive materials for energy storage: properties, mechanisms, and applications in supercapacitors and batteries
Jian-Feng Li
Abstract
The growing demand for efficient energy storage has intensified interest in pseudocapacitive materials, known for their high-power density, rapid charge–discharge capabilities, and tunable physicochemical properties. This review explores the foundational principles and evolution of pseudocapacitive materials, emphasizing recent strategies to improve their electrochemical performance in supercapacitor applications. Key focus areas include: 1) intercalation-type materials such as Nb2O5,..
