The symmetric supercapacitor device fabricated using N-doped graphene and aqueous K 2 SO 4 electrolyte showed a good stability up to an operating voltage of 2.5 V and showed a gradual increment in the capacitive current with increasing scan rate in the potential range of 0.0 to 2.5 V.
In general, symmetric supercapacitors are restricted to operate below 1.0 V due to the water molecule’s “thermodynamic breakdown potential” in aqueous electrolytes [ 70, 71 ]. But the working potential window can be raised to 2.5 V using organic electrolytes, which are toxic, not eco-friendly, and economically non-viable.
Electrochemical supercapacitors of two similar electrodes separated by an electrolyte and separator are termed symmetric supercapacitors. The electrode materials are made of the same chemical derivatives with the same volume and mass. The fundamental electroactivity of symmetric supercapacitors is similar to that of electrochemical capacitors.
A major factor is their capacitance of a supercapacitor is directly related to the effective surface area of the electrodes. material, phosphorene. Based on the electrode configurations in a supercapacitor, they are classified as symmetric, asymmetric and battery-type supercapacitors.
Before assembling an asymmetric capacitor, the positive and negative electrode materials need to be tested separately in a three-electrode configuration with a counter electrode (usually high surface area platinum wire/sheet) and a reference electrode (usually saturated calomel or Ag/AgCl) in an aqueous electrolyte.
It is important to note that the symmetric supercapacitor device is tested in the potential window, which is the sum of the individual suitable working potential window for the cathode and the anode. 16.2.4. Design and performance of symmetric supercapacitor devices
