Anode Material Research Trends: From Lithium-Ion to Next-Generation Potassium-Ion Hybrid Supercapacitors
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-025-00391-7
Abstract
The growing interest in and demand for energy storage devices have spurred extensive research on systems such as supercapacitors
(SCs) and batteries, as well as the development of advanced electrode materials. Among these, hybrid supercapacitors
(HSCs) have garnered attention due to their ability to combine the high-power density and long cycle life of SCs with
the high energy density of batteries. Notably, lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (Li-HSCs), which integrate the properties
of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), have emerged as high-performance energy
storage devices. However, the rising costs and limited availability of lithium have shifted the focus toward next-generation
energy storage systems. In this context, potassium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (K-HSCs) are gaining recognition as promising
alternatives to Li-HSCs. This review provides an in-depth analysis of research trends, from the anode materials utilized in
Li-HSCs to the recently developed anode materials for K-HSCs. Furthermore, it highlights the challenges and future directions
for advancing next-generation HSC technologies.
