Asymmetric Supercapacitors
Edit

An asymmetric supercapacitor is a device in which the two electrodes store charge by different mechanisms, one capacitive and one faradaic, so that their potential windows add rather than overlap. Pairing them widens the cell voltage beyond the stability limit that a symmetrical device would be restricted to, and hence raises the energy density, which scales with the square of that voltage [1]. Metal-organic frameworks and their calcination products have been examined as faradaic partners, and a device built from an unmodified cobalt zeolitic imidazolate framework delivers both high energy and power [2]. Prototype cells assembled from a nickel-cobalt oxide and a carbon negative electrode show how far the laboratory figures can be pushed [3]. Pairing an iron oxide negative electrode with an iron phosphide positive one is another route to the same voltage gain [4], and combining a perovskite-type molybdate with reduced graphene oxide extends the range of chemistries examined [5]. Cycle life at the widest voltage remains the quantity that limits what the wider window is worth.
