Effects of Carbon Pore Size on the Contribution of Ionic Liquid Electrolyte Phase Transitions to Energy Storage in Supercapacitors

Recent research on ionic liquid electrolyte-based supercapacitors indicated the contribution of phase transitions of the electrolytes at high cell voltages to the energy stored. This mechanism can be exploited to significantly increase the energy density of supercapacitors, which up to now remains t...
