Nickel-based electrode materials, in contrast, offer high-specific capacitance—a feature not inherent in carbon materials. Consequently, there has been a surge in research efforts aiming to construct symmetric supercapacitors using high-capacity nickel-based compounds and their composites.
In summary, asymmetric supercapacitors based on nickel-based cathode materials have made significant performance advancements compared to symmetric ones. However, challenges remain. Devices with carbon-based anode materials, despite their good rate performance, suffer from insufficient energy density.
Extensive research has been conducted on supercapacitors composed of carbon-based anode materials paired with nickel-based cathode materials, yielding significant advances. However, the limited specific capacitance of carbon-based materials has been a bottleneck, restricting the overall energy density of these devices.
Although numerous strategies, such as hierarchical structure design, component optimization, and hybridization, have been deployed to overcome the limitations of nickel-based supercapacitors and have notably enhanced their performance, challenges persist (Fig. 8).
