Abstract

A supercapacitor is an emerging field of energy storage and each component of a supercapacitor, i.e. current collector, electrode, and electrolyte has a significant effect on its charge storage capacity. The power delivery rate, efficiency, and extraction of stored energy depend upon the interaction of the electrode material/electrolyte with current collector. Therefore, in the present work, we endeavour to study the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors of activated carbon-based electrode with three different current collectors [Aluminium (Al) sheet, Graphite sheet, and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)]. A significant difference in the specific capacitance is observed and is found to have a maximum value of 103.42 F/g for ITO-based device, 70.81 F/g for Graphite, and 23.61 F/g for Al-based supercapacitive device.
