Abstract (EN): Hybrid supercapacitors emerged as an eco-friendly technology to address the grand challenge of sustainable and efficient energy storage. Functional carbon-based nanomaterials are promising building blocks for the design of advanced electrodes for this type of supercapacitors. The boost on wearable electronics opened new market opportunities for hybrid supercapacitors integrated in textiles using carbon-based electrodes. In this work, we will start by providing a brief introduction to the main principles of supercapacitors, followed by the importance of carbon ( nano) materials as electrodes for the design of high-performance supercapacitors for energy storage. Subsequently, the progress achieved by our team in the field of hybrid carbon-metal oxide nanomaterials and smart textile supercapacitors will be highlighted.
