This transition can be supported by improving the efficiency of energy storage systems for safer and stable operations, sustainability, high energy/ power density.

Key Points: 
  • This transition can be supported by improving the efficiency of energy storage systems for safer and stable operations, sustainability, high energy/ power density.
  • Research on this front has focused on molecular engineering approaches to the development of aqueous-based redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitors (redox ECs).
  • Redox ECs are a type of advanced hybrid electric double-layer capacitors that use redox-active molecules at the electrode-electrolyte interface to increase the energy density.
  • Now, researchers from Korea have used hydrotropic-supporting electrolyte (HSE) as an approach to enhancing the solubility of the organic redox-active species.
