To date, significant achievements have been made in understanding electrolyte effects on the performance of electrochemical supercapacitors (ESs). Novel electrolytes have also been created to improve performance and expand the commercialization of ES products. 

Research and development efforts have been plentiful in recent years in attempts to create new electrochemical supercapacitor (ES) component materials to improve the performance and commercial viability of this technology. With incremental progress in the field of maferial development, considerable technical advancements in ESs have been achieved in the past decade. 

CNTs is another promising EDL type material that has been utilized to increase the performance of the supercapacitors. The commercialization of CNT has been heralded due to poor energy density. Therefore attempts are put forward to increase the energy density through inexpensive and noncomplex purihcation process. The graphene is replacing the research of CNTs for supercapacitor applications due to cost effectiveness and enhanced supercapacitive performance [32, 33, 35].
