Metal oxide thin film based supercapacitors
a b s t r a c t
Supercapacitors have been known for over fifty years and are considered as one of the potential energy
storage systems. Research into supercapacitors is presently based primarily on their mode of energy
storage, namely: (i) the redox electrochemical capacitors and (ii) the electrochemical double layer
capacitor. The commonly investigated classes of materials are transition metal oxides (notably, ruthenium
oxide) and conducting polymers. Recently, many chemically deposited metal oxide thin film
electrodes including ruthenium oxide, iridium oxide, manganese oxide, cobalt oxide, nickel oxide, tin
oxide, iron oxide, pervoskites, ferrites etc. have been tested in supercapacitors This review presents
supercapacitor performance data of metal oxide thin film electrodes. The supercapacitors exhibited the
specific capacitance (Sc) values between 50 and 1100 F g1, which are quite comparable with bulk
electrode values; therefore, it is likely that metal oxide films will continue to play a major role in
supercapacitor technology.
