Numerous teams and laboratories around the world are working on the development of supercapacitors, while their constantly improving performance is enabling wider use. The major challenges are to improve the parameters of supercapacitors, primarily energy density and operating voltage, as well as miniaturization, optimization, energy efficiency, economy and environmental acceptance. This book provides an overview of new supercapacitor techniques and technologies that are changing the present and future of electricity storage, with a particular emphasis on self-powering sensor and transmitter systems. The latest achievements in the production, modeling, characterization and applications of supercapacitors are considered. Modern materials supercapacitor production, which points to unsuspected application possibilities, is especially considered. Examples of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and fundamental carbon allotropes, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene-based nanocomposites for supercapacitor electrodes, are presented.

In this book, authors investigated asymmetric and symmetric supercapacitor configurations for different electrode materials. Besides the already standard activated carbon (AC), studies were done with other materials and technologies for their preparation and activation. Also, the research info was presented with different electrolytes in order to obtain a higher capacitance and potential window, with as small as possible serial resistance. Achieved high performance enables wide application, and some of the new applications (spacecraft power systems, powering heart pacemakers and wireless sensors) are also described in this book.

Important factor in political decision-making is a public opinion as well. Therefore, it is very important to raise global ecological awareness and wider public education regarding ecology. Goal of this book is to bring closer to the readers new drive technologies that are intended to environment and nature protection. The book presents modern technique achievements and technologies applied in the implementation of electric vehicles. Special attention was paid to energy efficiency of EV's. Also today's trends, mathematical models and computer design elements of future cars are presented.
