Abstract
Supercapacitors are the most promising energy storage devices that bridge the gap between capacitors and batteries. They can reach energy density close to the batteries and power density to the conventional capacitors. Several researches have been carried out in the field of supercapacitors for the development of promising electrode and electrolyte materials as well as device fabrications to breakthrough in energy storage systems with diverse applications in electronics. They have a broad range of applications as they can deliver a huge power within a very short time. This chapter provides the detailed applications of supercapacitors in several sectors like consumer and portable electronics, transportation and vehicles, power backup , biomedical, military, aerospace, etc.
