description Abstract Electrodes and electrolytes have a significant impact on the performance of supercapacitors. Electrodes are responsible for various energy storage mechanisms in supercapacitors, while electrolytes are crucial for defining energy density, power density, cyclic stability, and efficiency of devices. Various electrolytes, from aqueous to ionic liquid, have been studied and implemented as potential electrolytes for supercapacitors. The ionic size, conductivity, mobility, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity of electrolytes affect the device’s capacitance. Electrode type and its interaction with electrolytes are other factors to consider when choosing an electrolyte for a supercapacitor. In this review, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive and straightforward overview of the numerous electrolytes widely used for supercapacitor study and how these electrolytes interact with the electrodes to improve the performance of the supercapacitors.
