Abstract

The growing demand for efficient energy storage has intensified interest in pseudocapacitive materials, known for their high-power density, rapid charge–discharge capabilities, and tunable physicochemical properties. This review explores the foundational principles and evolution of pseudocapacitive materials, emphasizing recent strategies to improve their electrochemical performance in supercapacitor applications. Key focus areas include: 1) intercalation-type materials such as Nb 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and V 2 O 5 , which offer fast and reversible ion insertion without phase transitions; 2) redox-active materials like transition metal oxides and 2D materials (e.g., MXenes), which enhance charge storage through…
