Synthesis of highly activated polybenzene-grafted carbon nanoparticles for supercapacitors assisted by solution plasma.

The growing demand for electronic storage devices with faster charging rates, higher energy capacities, and longer cycle lives has led to significant advancements in supercapacitor technology. These devices typically utilize high-surface-area carbon-based materials as electrodes, which provide excellent power densities and cycling stability. However, challenges such as inadequate electrolyte interaction, hydrophobicity that impedes ion transport, and high manufacturing costs restrict their effectiveness.
