英文摘要	Commercial electrochemical capacitors exhibit high power density and long cycle life but suffer from low energy density due to low specific capacitance of activated carbon (< 200 F g(-1)). Redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitors achieve higher specific energy by adding redox-active ingredients to the electrolyte, which provide additional faradaic pseudo-capacitance. Here, high-performance and stable aqueous redox electrochemical capacitors using a new dual-active electrolyte is developed, and the specific capacitance of activated carbon increases to 885 F g(-1) after adding 0.05M FeBr3 with no degradation over 10,000 cycles in a two-electrode cell, which is more than four-fold of the original capacitance of 204 F g(-1). In addition, PVA was introduced to the electrolyte and proved to be a useful way to increase the coulombic efficiency. Moreover, this new energy storage system delivers high specific energy of 40Wh kg(-1) in 0.5M Na2SO4 based on the mass of electrodes. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
