Energy storage systems are playing an increasingly important role in a variety of applications,
such as electric vehicles or grid-connected systems. In this context, supercapacitors (SCs) are gaining
ground due to their high power density, good performance and long maintenance-free lifetime. For this
reason, SCs are a hot research topic, and several papers are being published on material engineering,
performance characterization, modelling and post-mortem analysis. A compilation of the most important
millstones on this topic is essential to keep researchers on related fields updated about new potentials of
this technology. This review paper covers recent research aspects and applications of SCs, highlighting the
relationship between material properties and electrical characteristics. It begins with an explanation of the
energy storage mechanisms and materials used by SCs. Based on these materials, the SCs are classified, their
key features are summarised, and their electrochemical characteristics are related to electrical performance.
Given the high interest in system modelling and the large number of papers published on this topic,
modelling techniques are classified, explained and compared, addressing their strengths and weaknesses,
and the experimental techniques used to measure the modelled properties are described. Finally, the market
sectors in which SCs are successfully used, as well as their growth expectations are analysed. The analysis
presented herein gives account of the expansion that SC market is currently undergoing and identifies the
most promising research trends on this field. [--]
