Definitions of Pseudocapacitive Materials: A Brief Review

Wuhan University of Technology

Indexed incrossref

Abstract

Pseudocapacitive materials generally offer both high capacitance and high rate capability, which has stimulated great efforts in developing the materials system and related energy storage devices. In recent years, however, with the extensive use of nanomaterials in batteries, fast redox kinetics comparable to pseudocapacitive have been achieved in many kinds of battery materials due to the much shortened ion diffusion lengths and highly exposed surface/interface as a result of nanosize effect. Consequently, the terms “pseudocapacitive materials” and “battery materials” are becoming more and more confusing. In this review, different opinions on the definition of pseudocapacitive materials and the evolution of…
